IMF's Lagarde highlights potential disruptive nature of fintech

Kind of stating the obvious, but don't understand why the fear message.
IMF seems so shady to me honestly..

My gf and I have been using this. You need to book a restaurant at least half an hour beforehand, then get a discount on the meal - typically 10%-30%. It works and it's kind of fun. I recommend it.

A Real Question For You All.

https://techround.co.uk/news/n26-makes-changes/

Would you trust Fidor UK or N26 UK more with your money right now?
You have £5K and have to keep it in one of these two accounts.
Which do you choose?

There is a monthly fee and limited features.
Anyone have any thoughts about this or ethical banking in general?

The CASS

So I have this mate that used the Current Account Switching Service (CASS) to switch accounts 7 times in one year and make £800 from bank signup incentives. With many banks offering at least £100 this could be a good way to make money. Quite a bit of effort though, so maybe only worth it if you're a low income earner with lots of time on you hands.
