News & Analysis

What the fintech newsletters in this directory covered on News & Analysis that week — drawn from 4 posts across 3 newsletters, and nothing else.

Fintech Futures published a roundup of the top five news stories of the week, dated 16 October 2026, without detailing the specific contents of that list. The newsletter also reported that Wise has appointed Barak Eilam, the former CEO of NiCE, as its chair designate.

Sifted Fintech Newsletter covered the European AI fintech market, publishing a mapping of 94 startups that are described as automating the business of money, though the newsletter did not elaborate further on individual companies or specifics within that mapping.

Andrew's Angles focused on Fiserv, addressing how the company communicated its reversal on its FIUSD stablecoin initiative, characterizing the communication around this u-turn as poor.

Taken together, last week's coverage across these newsletters spanned leadership changes at Wise, a broad survey of AI-driven fintech startups in Europe by Sifted Fintech Newsletter, commentary on Fiserv's stablecoin strategy shift from Andrew's Angles, and a general news summary from Fintech Futures.
