The Payments Paddock (Presented by Stable)
<p>We're back for the second episode of The Payments Paddock, Stable's fortnightly podcast bringing you three recent fintech/payment stories we think UK SMEs and finance teams should know about.</p>
<p>This week, the three stories covered are: FCA Opens an Antitrust Investigation into PayPal, Visa and Mastercard; UK Fintech Innovation and embracing of Open Banking & Stablecoins; and Gamestop's Ryan Cohen's audacious plan to buy eBay for $55bn (and possible lessons for UK companies eyeing up acquisitions).</p>
