The government should mandate warning labels on companies like that, maybe "fintech" would be a good word to force them to use, similar to the way large companies have to use the "enterprise" warning label and games companies have to be labelled "triple A" to know their products and services are low quality and have a high risk of failure.

Dont they have to write in the footer WE ARE NOT A BANK

Usually that's what I look for

Do you not have banking licenses (someone mentioned FDIC)? Over here, that's how you tell real [regulated and insured] banks from pretend banks.

Yes. I guess the problem is that people aren't reading the small text st the bottom of the website that says they're not a bank
