NatWest ditches BNPL

@Adedeji Olowe: The model works, - quite well, thank you very much. But it's not as easy as doing nothing and charging interest for loans and credit cards. Banks prefer that model. BNPL involves engaging merchants (who effectively extend the credit) and managing 3-way relationships, respective transactions and risks. That hated 4-letter word w-o-r-k ☹

Plaid and Robinhood vets raise $75m for early-stage VC fund

Didn't they just say that funding has dropped this year? Well, some has dropped, some has come to the playfield... go figure! ;)

US and UK fintech funding falls sharply in 2023

Not a market 'crash', more of a 'correction' ;) Doesn't mean the Fintech bubble is over, there is still plenty of activity (and some interesting cases) - just deals became smaller in both valuations and funding raised. And fewer, for sure - making it less of a sure-fire way to enjoy lavish lifestye for 2-3 years on other people's money you don't have to return when you quit... Sarcasm apart, life became somewhat tougher for the average startup, but good businesses are stillgetting funded and will continue to attract investment as long as they are... good.
