Hi guys, not sure if you've seen the latest but RailsBank, who I've been impressed with for many, many years, have just sold at a pre-packed deal, a pre-package deal for £400 and change, £1000. Where last year they sought a valuation of £1 billion. Now RailsBank was, the reason I really like RailsBank is because it was banking in a box. They had building blocks to build a bank. The quickest as far as I know they ever took a bank from an idea to live was six weeks. So it's very staggering that they would now basically go under the numbers basically say that they've got over 600 million in deposits but only four million on the loan book of which half is uncollectible. So it's quite staggering to see that a company like this can get to this point. But I'd love to hear your opinion and what you think of this happening and what implications it has.

I remember meeting the Rosebank team awhile ago at a conference and I was super impressed with a proposition as well so this this news is pretty shocking but it goes to show I guess there's more challenges to building a bank then the movie would realise but yeah definition

I think what shocked me the most is that their loan book was four million and only half of it collectible. I think that shows that they may have focused too much on the tech without focusing on what could actually monetize it aside from license fees for their banking blocks.

I mean the other loan because tiny and the fact that half of it was on recoverable I wonder what sort of you know loans they were giving out and who for it to be that bad I'm not sure of the standard but it seems a bit strange

is presumably and I don't know this so don't take me to my word for it they just had lending as a product offering and they did that through a third party that may have been much more stringent than what most of their clients, building banks, could actually deal with.

Or that the product of lending was simply not cut out for the type of financial bank the build is generally catered to.
