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:

* The launch of Klarna’s bank account gift card

* Affirm’s killer earnings

* Are niche neobanks back?

* Apple opening up NFC (sort of)

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

Also, if you’re attending Finovate next week, keep your eye out for us!

I’ll be taking the stage with some of my favorite industry colleagues, Alex, Jason Henrichs, and Kiah, to discuss the perennial topic in US fintech, banking-as-a-service. I imagine the brokered deposits topic may make a cameo.

I’ll also be attending Alloy Labs happy hour on the This Week In Fintech happy hour on Tuesday — hope to see you there!
