Fintech Recap: Goldman May Delay Checking, Who Wins with Rising Rates, Student Loan Forgiveness

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:

* Goldman Sachs was supposed to launch its Marcus checking account in 2021, but new reports indicate it may be further delayed — what’s happening here?

* Interest rates seem set to continue rising — who are the winners and losers?

* The Biden administration is moving forward with student loan forgiveness — how might it impact fintech?

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

If you’ll be at Money20/20 in Las Vegas next month, don’t miss a chance to witness us record the podcast LIVE — we’ll be doing so Monday morning from the “MoneyPot” podcast studio. You can stop by and grab a pair of headphones to listen in.
