Qred Bank Buys Liberis & 10 More June Stories
Published:

Hi Embedded Finance Friend,

Even though we have some crazy hot days behind us, the summer break is yet to come. I will likely take a newsletter break for a few weeks and spend a good amount of time reworking my newsletter and content activities over the summer.

When this exactly happens will also depend on the news coverage (last year, July was still relatively busy with a very quiet August). Thus, there might not be a July or August mailing, but this monthly newsletter will be back by the end of September at the latest (and who knows, maybe before that as well).

And importantly, if you have any ideas, thoughts, or feedback for this newsletter, please ping me!

And now let's dive in!
