Thanks. By "modern financial technology" do you suppose they're talking about things like on-line banking apps? Because pretty much everyone does that nowadays - so, as you said, "just banks". On the other hand maybe "financial technology" means trying out new practices in borrowing and lending, in which case I'm a lot less sanguine. I'll let them experiment with someone else's money at first.
