Recapping the most interesting news, trends, and ideas in fintech.

Welcome to another episode of Fintech Recap, a monthly podcast where Jason Mikula of Fintech Business Weekly and I try to figure out what happened in the worlds of banking, fintech, and crypto and what it all means.

We were thrilled to be joined for this episode by Simon Taylor, Co-founder of 11:FS and publisher of the Fintech šŸ§  Food newsletter.

We didnā€™t plan it this way, but the theme of this monthā€™s episode turned out to be: Calling It Quits. Jason, Simon, and I discussed:

  • Capital Oneā€™s decision to eliminate overdraft fees.

  • N26ā€™s decision to exit the U.S. market.

  • David Marcusā€™s decision to leave Facebook/Meta.

We also spent a few minutes at the end of the episode discussing El Salvadorā€™s ā€œVolcano Bondsā€ because, well, we couldnā€™t not.

Enjoy!
