What the fintech newsletters in this directory covered on WealthTech & Investment Tech that week — drawn from 21 posts across 2 newsletters, and nothing else.
Net Interest published a single post last week, "Hot European Summer," covering that subject without further elaboration in the title.
Fintech Futures was the most active newsletter, covering a wide range of acquisitions and corporate moves. It reported that Revolut won conditional approval for a US bank charter, and that Allica Bank applied for a Swedish banking licence as part of a European growth push. It also covered several acquisitions: Eftsure acquiring AI-powered data validation fintech Relish, Nasdaq acquiring due diligence platform Dasseti to build out its eVestment suite, BitGo bolstering trading and capital market services through acquisition of a NYDIG unit, and Stripe acquiring Clerky to build out an incorporation offering for start-ups.

On leadership and personnel, Fintech Futures reported that Apex Group appointed Nick Tomadakis as its new CPO, and that Ingenico built out its leadership team with new tech, product, and revenue chiefs. The newsletter also covered Northern Trust's digital investment infrastructure MoU with CSC, and Maxim's debut of UK credit cards for the African diaspora in partnership with Paymentology. It published an opinion piece titled "Why I stopped waiting for banks to lead and started watching Kraken and Grab," covering that subject without elaborating further, and featured a podcast episode, "Demystifying the Intelligent Ledger," discussing convergence and the future of banking with Dharmesh Mistry and Lou Carlozo.
