This month Alex and I had the chance to talk about:

* “BaaS Island” is heating up: Synapse files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with TabaPay slated to acquire its assets, and Solid settles its dispute with its former investors, FTV.

* Is 2024 going to be the year of “pay by bank”? Alex and I aren’t entirely convinced.

* A federal earned wage access bill is in the works (but unlikely to pass anytime soon).

* VC darling BloomTech’s CFPB consent order.

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