Nothing throws me off more than being in a sea of tourists in soho and being the one they stop and ask for directions.

What gives it away that I’m a local???

A fantastic new This Week in Fintech Signals writeup from @trevortanifum today on a timely topic:

Direct. Indirect. Truly direct. In the context of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partnership models, what do these three have in common?

A very cool interview with Michel Rbeiz, Toast's $TOST GM of Fintech, by Matt Brown: 'We're pretty quick at iterating through this. For example, we’re piloting a high-yield bank account product for customers. We built it in about 7 or 8 weeks.' notes.mtb.xyz/p/michel-rbeiz…

So proud of this team 👏👏👏

$160 cash got stuck during my ATM withdrawal 😵‍💫 Went into the bank and thought they’d open it and hand me my money.

Nope!

Had to call an 800 number and must physically wait for a person to come count the cash delta in the ATM. Likely not till tomorrow!

I thought it was 2024?!

Guy just walks into equinox with a L’artusi to-go bag. That’s what New Yorkers call balance.

Thank you again to our great partners, guests, and friends for joining us.

Until next time...

Anyone else’s Apple watch think they’re starting a run when they are just walking around New York?

Not sure who needs to hear this but rest when you are tired, even if there is work to do.

To the NY tourists who need to hear this:

The cab light has to be ON for them to stop for you.

Please stop standing in the middle of the street with your hand up, shouting expletives, when it’s actually your wrongdoing not theirs.

Three years ago, we announced Unit 🌄

Since then, we’ve rolled up our sleeves to help customers like Relay, AngelList, & Roofstock build the next generation of financial services.

We're grateful to our amazing team, partners, & investors. Ready to join? unit.co/careers

After every large Fintech event, I'm left grateful for the organic friendships that have blossomed over the years. It's truly a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines our field.

Big thanks to Nik, Carina Oriel ✨, Cristina, Sophie Vo, Alex, and…

Today, I went to the dentist and for the first time in my life, didn’t get a toothbrush, floss, and paste on the way out.

Recession looming? Or just some smart cost cutting?

Can’t wait to see you Kristen Anderson !

Had the best time speaking with the amazing Greg on his Money Legos podcast!
