After years of missteps and struggles, the banking-as-a-service fintech Synapse officially has gone bankrupt. When a banking or financial startup fails, ordinary people get hurt. According to Synapse’s filings, up to 100 fintechs and 10 million customers could be impacted. But as industry expert Jason Mikula told TechCrunch, some customers using Synapse operate small businesses, meaning that the impact of Synapse’s collapse could be even more widespread than we think.

    Thanks. Short to the point. Question: Is Evolve BAAS fintech also involved with Synapse fiasco?

    Will you keep updating on this… we need word out. And I feel like there isn’t much talk about it. I have money in Yotta it was a way for me to have my sinking funds put away until I needed them. It’s horrible what’s happening I understand there are people who are in way worse situations than me. Just hope they figure it out and help us all out.

    Thanks great swimming up. As one of the 10 million average Joe’s who’s affected and can’t access any of my savings, suddenly living hand to mouth which is better than some, I really appreciate you trying to get the word out

      @@kaelthunderhoof5619fool me once shame on them. I joined Yotta when I was 18 and it seemed like a legit savings account since they claimed it was fdic insured. Luckily I only had a small amount since I preferred American Express but still it’s a hard lesson to learn
