Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts/feedback! I agree that we have a great people (you being one of them) :)! And we definitely have very interesting (and hard!) problems to solve. Thanks for balancing the velocity constraints that we have as a fintech company -- where trust is paramount -- with the need to keep things moving so we can build great products for our customers. I'm really glad you're part of the team.
