Neo Banks - Vineet Katial

Neo Banks—digital banks or challenger banks—are the new wave of financial service providers offering next-generation banking services to consumers, companies, small businesses, and governments. These new banking institutions in the digital – and even traditional – space have been created to provide easier, more efficient, and more convenient access to banking and financial services.

As enablers, they are revolutionizing the banking landscape with their innovative digital technology, simplified user experience and advanced data analytics, which helps customers make better financial decisions.

What are Neo Banks?

Neo Banks are digital-only banks, meaning they don’t have any physical branches. They typically offer the same services as traditional banks, including credit cards, loans, and other financial services, but without charging setup and maintenance fees.

What Services do they provide?

Neo Banks provide a range of financial services, including current accounts, savings accounts, loans, and credit cards, as well as other services, such as budgeting and saving tools, remittance services and 24/7 customer support. They also offer mobile apps and web-based banking platforms for customers to manage their finances on the go.

Where are Neo Banks Gaining Traction?

Neo Banks are gaining traction worldwide, with more customers signing up for their services. According to Statista, more than 400 Neo Banks have launched since 2014. They are especially popular in the US, UK, and Europe. In Europe, the most popular Neo-Banks are N26 and Revolut.

Why are they disrupting the financial Services industry?

Fintech’s enabled Neo Banks are disrupting traditional financial services by providing more innovative services, better customer experience, and lower fees. They can do this by using mobile-first technology and digital-only banking, which makes banking simpler and faster.

Conclusion

Fintech enabled Neo Banks are revolutionizing the banking sector by providing an innovative suite of services and an unparalleled customer experience. They are becoming more popular all around the world as more and more customers seek out these digital-only banks for their financial needs. With the rise of Neo Banks, the traditional financial services industry could be disrupted, as these banks offer more convenience and innovative services at a lower cost.

Vista Money is poised to launch a technology offering that will be enabling Neo Bank to go live, in a relatively short amount of time with a global plug and play infrastructure with compliance ready to go.
