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 š§ Food newsletter.
We didnāt plan it this way, but the theme of this monthās episode turned out to be: Calling It Quits. Jason, Simon, and I discussed:
Capital Oneās decision to eliminate overdraft fees.
N26ās decision to exit the U.S. market.
David Marcusās decision to leave Facebook/Meta.
We also spent a few minutes at the end of the episode discussing El Salvadorās āVolcano Bondsā because, well, we couldnāt not.
Enjoy!
