What the fintech newsletters in this directory covered on Lending & Credit that week — drawn from 9 posts across 7 newsletters, and nothing else.
Last week's Lending & Credit coverage touched on regulatory and legal disputes facing consumer finance firms. Fintech Business Weekly reported that Colorado sued EarnIn, alleging "immoral, unethical, oppressive and unscrupulous" business practices. American Banker Fintech covered a related theme, publishing a piece arguing that indebted Americans need help rather than restrictions on settlement services, and separately noted that small firms dislike the SBA's new size standards while lenders are said to be intrigued by them.
Buy now, pay later and consumer credit growth were also featured. American Banker Fintech wrote that Affirm extended its hot streak in a way that challenges the credit card industry, while Connecting the Dots in FinTech covered Affirm's Q4 FY26 results, citing $14.1B GMV and a strong outlook for FY27.
Infrastructure and emerging credit products rounded out the coverage. Fintech Futures reported that Marginalen Bank is moving to Provenir Cloud2 for decisioning automation. Bankless covered Galaxy's unveiling of a crypto-backed line of credit service. The Fintech Blueprint addressed AI-related lending activity, covering banks scrambling to lend $10B to Anthropic. Atomic Settlement's post asked whether one can pool a cost but not pool a business, a subject the newsletter covered without further elaboration.
