"They got more money than was good for them" - the deep fall of the fintech heroes

Various stars of the European fintech industry currently have to worry about capital, accept heavy value corrections for fresh money and run austerity programs.

Fintech companies are the first to feel the slump, either because they process fewer payments because of more economical online customers, or because users suddenly lack the money for investments. The crisis can be impressively documented in numbers with the spectacular revaluation of a former favorite in the industry.
