Fintech Recap: Increase CEO Wants To Buy A Bank

Hatch's Unusual Consent Order, Thread & Fiserv, MainStreet Exits BaaS & More...

Hey all, Jason here.

Alex Johnson, creator of the Fintech Takes newsletter, and I are happy to bring you the latest episode of our monthly podcast, Fintech Recap, where we unpack some of the biggest stories in fintech, banking, and crypto.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • Alex’s trip to BaaS Island: the founder/CEO of Increase seeking approval to acquire a controlling stake in a bank & Hatch Bank’s consent order with the California DFPI

  • Ryan Breslow’s return to one-click checkout / “super app” Bolt

  • Crypto firms seeking bank charters

  • And, as always, what Alex and Jason just can’t let go of

💰 Help Keep Fintech Business Weekly accessible to all: in an era where it feels more difficult than ever to parse hype from reality, I've made a conscious decision not to paywall Fintech Business Weekly.

But doing the research and analysis to bring you well-informed, deeply-reported stories takes time -- and money (really, you don't want to see my PACER bill, let alone my lawyer's.)
