N26 puts a positive spin on BaFin customer cap
Ketharaman Swaminathan

  Regs have collected hundreds of millions in fines from megabanks for violation of AML rules but, AFAIK, they have not imposed a ceiling on number of new customers they can onboard. Wondering why they're doing so on a neobank for the same tresspass. Is it due to lobbying by big banks or because they're not happy with the mere millions in fines they collected from N26?

Plaid launches A2A payments programme
Ketharaman Swaminathan

Ketharaman Swaminathan

  More competition is supposed to lower lower prices. The credit card industry has resolutely defied that common wisdom. There are literally tons of credit card issuers and credit card acquirers but APR has remained steady in the 24-36% range and MDR, in the 2-3% range, all thru' the industry's existence for 50+ years.  Now that Plaid has launched A2A payments, as foreseen by the regulator when it blocked the acquisition of Plaid by Visa, we will see how much pressure its competing payment service puts on credit card APR and MDR.
