Many congrats Mark. Great to see Bankifi moving onwards and upwards.

His Plaid problem is easily fixed. Now Visa's kindly established the price tag.

I wonder whether this makes Plaid more or less attractive to potential acquirers?

And who might be able to avoid the ire of the DoJ?

$3.2bn profit? Personally, I prefer the Chinese approach to fintechs.

Generally, I'm quite conservative, but I'm totally good with this.

Its just language. Let's fix it and move on.

Seems then that fintech has its own systemic vulnerabilities. 

I would imagine many fintech CEOs waking up this Monday morning to the priority of comprehensively understanding all the dependencies among their own 'supply chains' of outsourced service providers of Whatever as a Service.

The exuberance around fintech encourages short memories. 

Anybody remember Powa? 

Always, Caveat Emptor.

Hate to be brutal but the reason so many startups fail is because they are bad/marginal ideas started by folk with no clue how to build/run a business.

Fintech, or whatever the sector, the same groundrules apply. 

Interesting. The ability of bots/AI to learn effectively, and therefore adapt to change is key to their wider use.

Put simply, will the Bot 'get it', quicker than the staff. And therefore deliver a better/more consistent service.

Learning more about these sorts of use cases in action, being practically applied, would be really informative.

A case study to endorse why banks' smartest strategy may be to stand aside, let fintechs do the innovation.

And then buy them when/if they have critical mass.
