In This Episode

When does a fintech become what they set out to disrupt?

Is it when they start offering bank-like products?

Get a banking license?

Is it when they go all-in and buy an actual bank?

In this episode sister pod, Breaking Banks Asia Pacific, asks whether this is good, bad, or something else for competition.

What do you think?
