Hey all, Jason here.

Alex Johnson, creator of the Fintech Takes newsletter, and I are happy to bring you the latest episode of our monthly podcast, Fintech Recap, where we unpack some of the biggest stories in fintech, banking, and crypto.

This month, we had the chance to talk about:

* Ongoing fall out in the buy now, pay later sector: Klarna’s valuation correction, Zip/Sezzle call off merger, Openpay exits the US, and BNPL for NFTs

* Credit cards sans credit scores: Tomo raises a $22 million Series B, X1 gets ready to launch

* A tiny credit union sues Apple for antitrust, arguing Apple Pay fees card issuers pay are unfair

* Zelle fraud has skyrocketed — and the CFPB is pushing banks to take more responsibility for customer loses

* and, what Alex and I just can’t let go of
