Revolut and Wise have become quite profitable in 2023, in no small part thanks to higher interest rates.

The 10 foot ladder site allows you to bypass paywalls, same as internet archiveZanderman said:FT is behind a paywall so, with moneysaving in mind, could you tell us more about the article says? Thanks!Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

FT Alphaville is free of access, has always been free. I'm no FT subscriber, and rarely really read the truly paywalled content.0

FT paywall can be circumvented by Googling the article title (visible in the main link in OP, "UK neobanks need to show sterling qualities, not just fintech growth" in this case), and following the link returned by the search.0
