Google to get into retail banking: report


The Wall Street Journal reports that Google was actively contemplating getting into retail banking. Under project “Cache”, it would soon start offering consumers checking accounts.

Google’s Caesar Sengupta spoke to the WSJ about this initiative. He told the newspaper that Google would be seeking to put its financial institution partners much more front-and-center for its customers than other tech companies have perhaps done with their financial products.
