Too bad. Another business model failed. This is such a tough market to work in. Suppose we just need years (decades?) of trial and error.

Because banks are so heavily regulated, likely to be more so, and lending always being the core, it’s very hard to respond to market changes. Banks aren’t really designed to do that — nor should they be.

We applaud the effort, however. Good reporting.
