A Moment with MX: Money Experience Summit 2025

For the dreamers, doers, and disruptors. MX’s annual invite-only Money Experience Summit (MXS) recently brought together more than 100 attendees from every area of the financial industry — banks, credit unions, fintechs, and more. 

The event was filled with opportunities to engage and connect — friendly conversations while on horseback, one-on-one meetings between financial leaders, a lively welcome reception with customized swag stations, sunrise puppy yoga, and a competitive trivia night in the heart of downtown Park City, Utah.

While the activities, fun, and networking opportunities were memorable, the most valuable thing was the learnings shared by our incredible speakers. Here are some of our favorite takeaways:

The Financial Ecosystem Is at a Crossroads

Rodney Hood, former Acting Comptroller of the Currency, kicked off our morning keynote addresses with a warm welcome — and some unsettling statistics like this one: less than 40% of American households can’t afford a $400 emergency. Today’s financial system puts consumers in a difficult position as they work to get a grip on rising costs. And, that’s why financial providers should partner with consumers on their financial wellness journey.

Who can make the difference in the industry?

Financial Wellness Starts with Providers

Jennifer Tescher, CEO of the Financial Health Network, continued Rodney’s message saying, “We must harness our collective power as an industry. We need more than good intentions — we need standards.” 

Financial providers must take the initiative to provide for consumers. Through action that puts consumers at the heart of all decisions, providers can set the standard for an economy that wants to see consumers succeed.

And, action starts with data.

Turning Data into Action

One common theme that connected each session throughout MXS was turning data into action. Many of the issues that are top of mind for financial professionals — fraud, future proofing the organization, supporting financial health, and gaining primacy — can be achieved through data. But simply having data isn’t enough. It must be put into action. Using data to understand the customer journey. Using data to know what consumers need. Using data to give consumers actionable insights that can drive financial health.

Don’t miss out on how you can turn data into action to drive growth and measurable results for consumers and your business. Watch the replay of keynote and breakout sessions here.
