I didn't realize it was also free for the bank.
I assumed the bank.
So there's no economic incentives for Boost at all?
I'm curious about that because, again, the tradeoffs as you attract more scale, as you provide more products, as you use AI to build even more scale.
Down at the bottom, right, the individual consumer, the thing I'm pushing on is will they feel more recourse or more control or less?
And over time, I would say increasing centralization and scale in the economy has led to it feeling less empowered.

I know you're moving a bunch of your data to AWS.
You're moving to the cloud.
That will help you with security.
In some ways, it will help you with AI.
Sometimes the only way people hear about companies like Experian is because of data breaches.
