“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

That's actually pretty genius, if he'd be able to pull that off (which he most likely can't). Since banks can invent money out of thin air, he can pay his employees in fictional Dollars and so save a ton on employment expenses. As long as there's no bank run, he'd be fine.
