The White House ❤ FinTech

© Can Stock Photo Inc. / tmainieroAnother day, another member of the FinTechnorati visiting the White House. Wait, what?

That’s right, for the past several months, the White House has been inviting FinTech “names” from across the industry — Brett King, Chris Skinner, Jim Marous, the fine folks at Dwolla (who are visiting today and coincidentally announced they are no longer charging a transaction fee for their money-movement service). It’s not a secret that innovation is on the White House agenda — TechCrunch reported the following in March:

Members of a new White House effort, the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), have been making house calls, from Sand Hill Road to tech companies all over the Bay Area. Former U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, Fuse Corps Founder Jennifer Anastasoff, USDS Administrator Mikey Dickerson and others who led efforts to resuscitate Healthcare.gov are on a recruiting trip for tech talent.

Efforts to resuscitate Healthcare.gov were led in part by Jeffrey Zients, director of the National Economic Council and assistant to the President on economic policy. He’s apparently called “Mr. Fix-It” within the administration. The NEC is the organization King and others mentioned meeting with in tweets such as this one from Jim Marous:

Feel honored to have followed @brettking & @Chris_Skinner as visitor to White House to meet members of #NEC. pic.twitter.com/y4dPCMWGUy

— Jim Marous (@JimMarous) May 21, 2015

Apparently those invited to speak to the NEC are not meeting Zients directly. And the web presence of the NEC is not active — the most recent report was “A Strategy for American Innovation: Securing Our Economic Growth and Prosperity,” posted in 2011 under Gene Sperling, Zients’s predecessor.

We don’t know exactly what the NEC hopes to achieve or how on-board Zients is with the efforts in this space — discussion topics reportedly cover a wide range, depending on who the guest is — but don’t be surprised if you soon get an invite to Barack’s pad.
