As @Paytm released its Q4FY23 results yday, I dived into last 8-qtrs of its lending biz 💡💡

Here’s a breakdown of numbers that you won’t find all in one place anywhere else 👇

Tags: @vijayshekhar | #Paytm Image
Paytm earns 2 things on each loan given.

💰 Commission (C): A %age of the loan amount

💰 Performance bonus (PB): A %age of the EMIs collected, only when the loan is paid back
Some basics about the performance bonus!

👉 In case of defaults, #Fintechs used to compensate the lending partners (LPs- NBFCs & banks) under #FLDG (first loan default guarantee) agreement

Anyone wondering what is happening in #BuyNowPayLater in the world's biggest digital market (🇮🇳)?

Today we put out our 2021 annual report with lots of consumer insights and learnings for the industry. 🔥

Some highlights  (1/🧵)
India took to #BNPL in a big way in 2021 and it emerged as a loved payment option across the country. We saw demand from 99% of pin codes.

We added the most customers in the 23-26 years age group but saw demand from 18 to 66-year-olds...
Millennials and Gen Z are loving the ease and convenience of BNPL. We saw 2X growth in millennials and 3X growth in Gen Z using BNPL. 🤩

Female customer base was up by 143%  ♀️

Tier II and III cities continue to drive demand for #BNPL

Many academic institutions are kinda confused when it comes to launching new degrees such as #FinTechs, Data Sciences, Business #Analytics, Machine Learning, Ai, etc.
There does not seem to be a standardized curriculum for such programs as we see in other academic disciplines.
Just combining courses from Maths, Statistics and Computer Sciences Faculty will not give you a Data Science Degree Program.
That is the mistake that universities're making at the moment.
Highly Amateurish.
The same mistake was made when business schools Physics,& Engineering Departments came together to launch applied Mathematical Degrees such as FE- Financial Engineering, etc.
#Quant #Finance was probably the most sought-after degree before the #GFC and later the lies got exposed

1/ THREAD ABT REGULATORY NEWS in #crypto, which I’ve been chronicling on twitter since April. Seems crackdown has begun. I dunno how it'll turn out but:
* it won't impact #BTC #ETH etc directly. Base layers will keep addin' blocks
* it'll impact intermediaries & US$ access points
2/ Today was a key event that few in #crypto were probably watching, but it REALLY matters: the comment period ended for the Fed’s proposed payment system access guidelines. See comment letters here (including @AvantiBT’s 18-page tome--awaiting upload): federalreserve.gov/apps/foia/View…
3/ Why does it matter? Fed guidelines are partly aimed at #crypto (despite not mentioning crypto even once). Given what’s happening w/ US$ #stablecoins, the guidelines are esp relevant (see WSJ story last wk-FSOC wants Fed to regulate stablecoins per “ppl familiar w/discussion”)

1/13: There’s a lot of chatter recently about #Fintechs not wanting to hire people with traditional #Banking backgrounds and traditional #Bankers pointing out how short-sighted this is. It’s a complex topic that’s worth unpacking. 👇 Image
2/13: Like with most arguments, there isn’t a right or a wrong side. Every company is unique and every hiring decision is the net result of a complex series of tradeoffs. Finding the perfect fit for any role is a noble goal to pursue but is unfortunately a fantasy standard IRL.
3/13: Banker Perspective: Fintechs don’t realize how the machinery works. They don’t appreciate how to navigate building products and delivering services in a highly regulated world. They should appreciate how many landmines could be avoided if they just hired experienced people.

Good evening and welcome again to @Nairametrics#CorporateNewsRoundup for the week ended January 16th, 2020. This thread is brought to you by @BluechipTechNG.   

The thread starts here.
1/We begin with some financial services news recap. Last week, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Plc crashed the interest rate for its ‘personal overdraft’ from 1.25% to 1% per month.
@Nairametrics reported that the review made Standard Chartered one of the banks with the lowest interest rates in Nigeria.

The development can also be seen as a strategic move by the bank, as it makes major inroads into Nigeria’s highly lucrative...

1/ New #fintech proposition, BELLA opened it's waitlist last week before a Nov 30th launch.

"We don't need customers. We need people who care about each other" boasts BELLA's home page.

Intrigued...I dived deeper and have some thoughts 👇
2/

Of the 3 main banking models in the US, BELLA is leveraging the Banking-as-a-Service model. They join the likes of previous fintech unicorns @Betterment and @GustoHQ using the banking charter of @nbkcbank

Catch up on the 3 models with @sammaule here

3/

Billed as “the first conversational banking experience 100% powered by human love”, BELLA's vibrantly colourful website has been designed by @uxdesignagency

I love the work Alex Kreger and the UXDA team do to make financial services beautiful, and BELLA does look bellissima

Según FIEL y #Adeba la evidencia sobre el efecto de las #fintechs en la inclusión financiera en Argentina es sólo anecdótica. Veamos algunas “anécdotas”... #nolohizounbanco
Innovamos creando un QR interoperable, se lo ofrecimos gratis a los comercios y en 12 meses ya hubo más de 8 millones de pagos desde celulares. #nolohizounbanco
Democratizamos los pagos con tarjeta de crédito, duplicando la cantidad de comercios que las aceptan. Ya llevamos 900.000 dispositivos Point mPOS vendidos. #nolohizounbanco
