General Fintech & Banking Articles Megathread

Railsr is a banking and card as a service provider, as well as some other fintech products, customers include Plum and crypto.com

I think Algbra also uses them.

Barclays not allowing direct debits from Mortgages - I know there’s a thread about this somewhere, but I can’t find it.

“A rare case of a sort code being allocated but not uploaded”. Had to laugh. The Monzo sort code has been allocated for several years now. Even back in the day when the Bank Wizard updates came out by post on CD-ROM, I used to update my employer’s system every month.

To be fair, it does have two letters different from Monzo.

Back when Monzo had to change its name to a resolve legal challenge from another company it got away with only changing one letter!

I’m thinking M&S Bank and Adidas. Banking and sportswear - the perfect combo.
