Sometimes a simple Twitter callout can ignite a brainstorm worthy of re-sharing.

Back in June, Plaid CEO Zachary Perret asked simply, “What do you think financial services will be like in 2030?”

One theme among the replies was the idea that a smart actor will create a one-stop shop consolidated website of defi and other fintech options.

Colin Overweg said he was surprised that no one has thought to build a financial hub website.

Great article.
Pretty amazing that nobody has created a great financial hub to see all your finances.
Even financial planning software is clunky.

Speaking of simplicity, Anurag Baveja said automated diligence will allow an almost-instant transaction state.

say i need a $100,000 loan

All i need to do is tap a button on the Plaid app

the nexus of APIs and the Ecosystem will do the verification, diligence automagically and put the Sum in my Bank account – in the next 60 Minutes –

Josh Ryan brought a glass-half-full vision to the question by suggesting a future of borderless cashflows.

Loans will increasingly be based on cash flow data, repayment automation, and where you work.

Real-time biometric payments will route more directly between buyer and seller wallets.

Borders will hopefully be far less of a barrier to access than they are today.
