WEEKLY EDITION BY BOB

Hello and welcome back to your Weekender Digest! I’m Bob, here to cut through the noise and spotlight the fintech shifts you can’t afford to miss.

Here’s what stood out for me this week:

■ FNZ’s 7-month migration shows how concentration risk can shake an entire sector.
■ PayPal bets big on agentic commerce, blending AI and crypto into the next payments frontier.
■ For fintechs, clean revenue beats customer counts and PwC’s new playbook could help plug costly leaks.

I’ll keep watching the twists so you can stay ahead.

NEWS ANALYSIS

The 7-month migration that shook FNZ

Seven months, 126,000 accounts, and a reminder that scale always comes with risk. For me, FNZ’s migration isn’t just about operational headaches - it’s a flashing red light on concentration risk, and why regulators are paying closer attention to who holds the keys in wealth management.

NEWS ANALYSIS

The next phase of payments is agentic, and PayPal wants in

Agentic commerce might sound like buzzwords, but PayPal’s move shows it’s the next battleground. By weaving AI and crypto into payments, they’re chasing frictionless transactions but the real challenge will be keeping fraudsters and regulators at bay.

NEWS ANALYSIS

Fintech growth needs more than customers… it needs clean revenue

Growth is great until the revenue leaks out. Complex, usage-based models are tricky, and PwC’s new partnership is a reminder that fintechs must lock in billing integrity and compliance before chasing their next big valuation.
