German challenger bank N26 was an investor darling, backed by Peter Thiel, Tencent, and Li Ka-Shing. The company, founded in 2014, was one of the original banking disruptors but ran into a major hurdle when German regulator BaFin put a cap on how many new customers it could take due to concerns around money laundering controls. The cap expired last year - N26 has seen a jump in new customers and is forecasting a 40% revenue rise for this year. Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Tom Mackenzie spoke to Founder and CEO Valentin Stalf about the bank's bounce on revenue and customer growth, plans to come to public markets, and thoughts on regulation.

Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, joined "Bloomberg Balance of Power" to express strong opposition to approving a proposed $200 billion increase in Pentagon funding at this time. He emphasized that the administration has not sought the required congressional authorization as mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Peters highlighted that the current Pentagon budget is approximately $1 trillion, suggesting there is sufficient funding already available. He criticized the lack of a clear strategic plan or defined objectives, particularly questioning why there has been no effective action to keep the Straits of Hormuz open. The senator also pointed to the economic impact of rising gasoline prices on Michigan families, noting prices near $4 per gallon and the broader negative effects on consumers. He urged the president to provide transparency and justification for the proposed spending, warning that increasing the national debt without a clear plan could exacerbate economic instability.
