A new number in our mission update. People and businesses holding their money with @Wise earned $73.7 million (£58m) in Q4 of last year thanks to governments and central banks paying high interest rates. Read on how it works ... Your money not ours.
It’s remarkable - or is it? - that people and companies still keep so much of their cash in Banks that pay little or no interest.

Some truth here. CEOs have to own it, work 24/7, deliver against impossible expectations through others, give all credit for wins to team and suck up blame for everything bad. Still a great and usually well paid job if you love what you’re doing though!
CEO is the worst job at the company. The best job is co-founder. More equity than any employee. More equity than most investors. Less responsibility than a CEO. Co-founders sleep better at night than CEOs.

@kaarmann @santander_es keep up with these, crazy to see the fake transparency
Lying about exchange rate markups seems common in Spain. Maybe because the €2 coffee is so cheap compared to London, the banks hope we don't notice. Here @santander_es confesses to 5.5% while the real charge is 7.0%.
Nearly high-fived the Spanish card terminal for fessing up to 1.90% fees for choosing the wrong currency. Then thought I'll check just in case. Turned out to be 2.53%, that's 33% more than advertised. Don't stop half way once you've decided to come clean @Bankinter 🙋

A YC startup in the middle of fundraising found a way to cut their costs by 2/3. Now they don't need to raise at all. They can make it to profitability on the money they already have. Bet you can guess what will happen when they tell investors they're shutting down the raise.

As a Jewish community leader who works with thousands of London Jews every week + speaks with hundreds of them, this hyperbolic headline doesn't reflect what I hear at all. We're not fleeing anywhere! Antisemitism is real but we out,loud, proud London Jews are going nowhere!
Growing numbers of Jewish families are considering fleeing London for abroad because of rising antisemitism in the capital #frontpage The Campaign Against Antisemitism says some Jewish residents have even left already over fears for their safety
