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 and I recorded this before “Liberation Day” and thus before Klarna chose to delay its IPO; that said, our analysis of Klarna’s F-1 registration statement stands!
A return to BaaS Island: a first-hand account of Mercury and Evolve’s seemingly abrupt parting of ways; what other banks, fintechs, and regulators can learn from the chaotic public split.
It’s charter time: a brief discussion of SmartBiz, OakNorth, and OneMain’s progress on charters; prescient, given the news this week that Stripe has applied for Georgia’s merchant acquirer limit purpose bank (MALPB) charter (more on Stripe’s news from me here, including a copy of the public portion of its application.)
And, as always, what Alex and I just can’t let go of.
