Wall Street is Outsourcing Innovation

Wall Street has a major innovation problem.<br><br>
So says Sallie Krawcheck, CEO of Ellevest (an investing platform tailored to women) and the former CFO of Citigroup.<br><br>
"Now, I would argue to you...the last real innovation that came out of a big bank was the ATM," Krawcheck told Business Insider's Linette Lopez and Josh Barro.<br><br>
Innovation in the everyday technology that regular consumers use, such as depositing a check by taking a picture with your smartphone, has come from outside the industry.<br><br>
Banks have been partnering with startups, but Krawcheck calls this "outsourcing innovation because the banks' money fuels the startups, which in turn give the banks a spot in the tech world.<br><br>
