I hope they'll execute this one well.

Have been waiting for a wallet product from Stripe for a while, but maybe less juicy margins than on top of credit card fees?

They have Their Link.com product which integrates pretty seamlessly. It just doesn't store balances or anything akin to PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Apple Pay/Cash, etc.
