TWEETS From Fintech Takes
Strongly agree. Banking is fundamentally boring. If you want to provide banking-type services, embrace being boring! It’s a feature not a bug!
Crypto needs boring products, boring protocols and even more boring founders that just work without the drama.
Lots of interesting updates here (and a nice looking brand).
Hi 👋🏾 @Finix didn't just rebrand yesterday.
We became a payfac, expanded our in-person payments capabilities, and added real-time fraud monitoring, account updater, L2/L3 processing, Apple/Google Pay, interchange+ pricing, T+2 ACH payouts, profitability reporting, etc.
Holy cow.
#Apple and #Google want to make real money in financial services by either partnering with FIs or competing. What happens next?
