Fintech Uncut Episode 30 — Goldman Sachs & Apple break up on the cards?
Holidays are all about taking a break and it seems Goldman Sachs is thinking about taking a break from their relationship with Apple. Will this be the end of their foray into consumer finance after losing more than $3 BILLION since 2020 on their experiment?
SOME of the cast of the show managed to meet the holiday brief this week (including Mary’s pup Benedict, featured here and in the intro) in the last episode before the team takes a break over summer. The Wise Guy had already made an early departure which saw the Mighty Mushtaq return to step into his (apparently smaller) shoes.
