Fintech Brainfood

Simon Taylor, a longtime fintech consultant, writes Fintech Brainfood as a weekly roundup that mixes deal news with his own analysis of what's actually happening underneath the headlines: regulatory shifts, embedded finance, the economics of banking-as-a-service. He's unusually willing to call out hype in a space full of it.

The newsletter works well as a weekly check-in rather than a deep archive piece, quick hits on news plus a sharper take or two each issue. Useful for fintech operators, investors, and journalists who want an informed, slightly skeptical read on the week's news.
