Fintech Recap: The Growing Fintech Reckoning

Credit builder products, the Fed's proposed debit interchange cap, Plaid's CRA, and 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.

This month, we had the chance to talk about:

  • the growing “fintech reckoning,” especially among consumer fintechs, with reports of possible shutdowns, sales, and pivots for companies like HMBradley, Petal, Apple/Goldman Sachs, Mint, Braid, Catch, and many others you probably haven’t even heard of

  • Alex’s favorite topic, credit builder products: including Tomo’s perplexing offering, Region’s partnership with Self, and the wider product space

  • as well as a quick discussion of the Fed’s proposed lowering of the Durbin interchange cap and Plaid’s decision to create a consumer reporting agency subsidiary

  • and, like every month, what Alex and Jason just can’t let go of
