This week on the This Week in Fintech podcast, in just 10 minutes, we cover the downfall of brokerage apps post-pandemic, highlighted by Noah Weidner (@noahw) in his article "Signals: The Broker App-pocalypse Is Here," where once-popular platforms like Robinhood have seen a massive drop in active users while established firms like Fidelity and Vanguard continue to thrive. We dive into the fintechionary, remittance, the vital money transfers by foreign workers to their home countries, and how fintech is revolutionising this process by making it faster, cheaper, and more transparent, significantly impacting global economies and reducing poverty. Lastly, we highlight key news, including UK bank fraud losses topping £1 billion and Capchase securing €105 million from Deutsche Bank to support SaaS companies in Europe.

In this 10-minute episode, we explore the latest in fintech from groundbreaking product launches like Wenia's COPW Stablecoin to significant challenges such as Binance's $6M AML fine. We delve into Sophie Vo's insightful article on the globalization era of neobanks, examining how giants like NuBank and Monzo are leveraging international markets to innovate domestically. Our Fintechionary segment demystifies P2P lending, explaining its impact on democratizing finance. Wrapping up, we recommend deep reads on PayPal's optimistic future and Visa's revolutionary One Card. Tune in for a concise roundup of the essential fintech developments this week!
