Fintech Recap: Mastercard Says "No" To Drugs

FedNow's Launch, Block Sues Visa & Mastercard, Is Worldcoin Completely Dystopian?

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.

This month, we had the chance to talk about:

  • FedNow finally launched — now what?

  • Block sues Visa and Mastercard over interchange rates, Visa CEO bashes merchant surcharges, and “Durbin 2.0”

  • Mastercard tells payment processors to cease working with cannabis merchants

  • Worldcoin, Sam Altman’s vaguely dystopian global ID/crypto project, goes live

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