Perhaps it is just us but there is a significant overload of information in fintech. It is often very hard to separate the good from the not so great at first glance and the pure volume of content readily available for consumption is overbearing.

This is why we have decided to compile a list of our favorite fintech newsletters that we regularly follow (and even open when they arrive in our mailbox).

When carefully narrowed down to a few; newsletters in are a a great way to receive high quality content. They are delivered in your email and usually follow a regular routine (often circulated during off-days such as Sundays); removing the barrier to consume more thoughtful and long-form content.

Without further ado then, these are the top 5 fintech newsletters we are reading on regular basis these days:

1 Fintech BrainFood

Published by the self-proclaimed fintech geek and 11.FS co-founder Simon Taylor; this is probably our favourite fintech newsletter these. Fintech Brainfood provides a weekly summary of what is recently happening in the fintech world; alongside 4 fintech startups that are worth noticing.

What we particularly love about this are are the thoughtful in-depth analyses Simon goes into every week in zeitgeist topics such as core banking disruption or crypto. Definitely recommended!
