Fintech Recap: Pirates Invade BaaS Island

Jason's VERY SPECIAL News, Apple Drops Apple Pay Later, The End of Chevron Deference

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:

  • Jason’s special news: I wrote a book! The book, Banking as a Service: Opportunities, Challenges and Risks of New Banking Business Models, will be available toward the end of the year — but you can preorder now, and if you order directly from the publisher here and use promo code “BAASISLAND,” you get 20% off!

  • Pirates invade BaaS island: Evolve Bank & Trust, partner to dozens of fintech programs, hacked by Russian ransomware group LockBit

  • Elsewhere in BaaS news: Thread’s consent order

  • Apple drops Apple Pay Later, will partner with issuers and BNPL firms instead

  • Chevron decision drops (disclosure: neither Alex nor Jason are lawyers)

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