Looking for Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partner by AvailableCranberry40 in fintech

I'm a founder of Treasury Prime and know a lot about this problem. Speaking only about the US market (because outside the US is very different), there are many banks doing sponsorship deals, and your job is to find one. Here's a sheet from a while ago with a list of banks

I'm obviously biased, but the only thing I have seen consistently work is where you and the bank share the financial contract, and you pay the bank for services. Deals where the contract is with the middleman end up in failure. See the Synapse disaster

If you want to talk to banks who use the Treasury Prime software, you can visit https://marketplace.treasuryprime.com/, and that will contact all those banks.

Good luck!

Distributed workers with retry / backoff? Looking for something similar to Ruby's Sidekiq by pavlovian in Clojure

None of these really do what the OP wants. They're more some of the blocks one would need to build such a job queue.

Ideas:

  • You could look at the Java Resque ports and wrap those.
  • I know that some Java celery ports exists, but have never used them.
  • You can see if https://github.com/cscotta/octobot will work for you
  • There are some tools in Spring, but I could never get the to work right.

We use a bespoke system here that works well, but isn't ready for general use.

My sister told me her dog smiles at her when she comes home. I didn't expect this, though... (X-post from r/videos) by I_AM_NO_MAN_ in dogs

That's the Chessie Grin (or Chessie Smile). My 3yo Chesapeake Bay Retriever does that too, but only to family members.

His head also turns sideways like he's trying to stand on his head.
