Let's see what FIS will do with the $11.7B from selling a majority stake in Worldpay to GTCR LLC. Surely more deals are underway... lnkd.in/erreYpEU

The $20m payments fraud loss at Revolut will wipe out about 2/3 of their latest profits. But the real damage is much broader. Firstly the impact on customer trust, secondly the impact on how regulators feel about the firm's securit…lnkd.in/eps49zEM lnkd.in/eKN9bnis

I think that Amazon may have a point. The #DSA - The EU's Digital Services Act - is supposed to protect EU citizens from disinformation not lower prices. #digital #amazon lnkd.in/ewq-tJ_z

I love the new John Lewis & Partners Christmas advert. Brilliant, traditional yet disruptive. Change is good even if it shreds a few things while it gets on with making things different.

The UK global leadership in #Fintech is solid but it is also fragile. What are some of the considerations that Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer should be thinking about when making policy decisions that will affect the UK Financial Services Innovation ecosystem? The World Financial Review

Congrats to the Stripe team as they pass $1 trillion in payments volume. This will surely have a positive impact on the $65B Valuation! finextra.com/newsarticle/43… via Finextra

Thought Sixt Rent a Car was a quality brand. NOT ANYMORE. Rented for 2 days. They charged me for 4. After 2+ hrs on calls + video proof of the drop-off, they admitted fault — but still no refund. 10+ yrs as a loyal customer. Shockingly poor service. The BVRLA Which? ExpediaUK

Just like that, another #Money2020Europe wrapped. My take: 🤖 #AgenticAI – promise or peril? 💸 Payments – #DLT wins, but #Stablecoins vs #CBDCs ? 🌍 #FinancialInclusion – PR or real value? 🏦 Big Banks – surprising swagger this year. Till next time! cfi.co/banking/2025/0…

Klarna IPO’d at $40/share, valuing it at $15B and raising $1.37B. Oversubscribed and a clear signal fintech is back. Still loss-making (–$53M in Q2), but revenues are up 21%. Investors are betting scale → profits. The real test: moving beyond #BNPL. reuters.com/business/finan…
