Neobank is an increasingly popular keyword in the Fintech industry. However, not everyone clearly understands what Neobank is, or its advantages and disadvantages.
What is a Neobank?
Neobank is a kind of digital bank, with no transaction offices, no bank branches. It allows customers to open an account, manage money, register for a bank card, open a credit card, etc. through an application on a mobile phone or computer without having to go to the bank’s headquarters.
The first Neobanks appeared in the UK, after the financial crisis ended. Faced with heavy financial losses, banks could no longer support each other in lending money. This caused the UK Government to change regulations, allowing digital banks to raise capital and build an online infrastructure platform before being licensed to become banks.
Neobank was officially born from there.
The Pros of Neobank
Low fees
Like other online banks, Neobank has no costs associated with maintaining branches. Because there are fewer rules and no credit risk, Neobanks are able to keep their costs low. Most services are cheap and do not charge monthly fees.
Quickly create an account
Many people have experienced long wait times when opening a new account at a traditional bank. They certainly don’t want to experience it again. Meanwhile, creating an account at Neobank is simple and quick.
Customers don’t need to go anywhere to create an account, they can do it in a few simple steps through their smartphone. And they will have a Neobank account in just a few minutes!
Convenient payment
For traditional banks, if they want to make international payments, customers must register or upgrade their card with the bank to an international card. Only then will they be able to pay their transactions in the international environment.
Neobank has overcome this drawback when allowing transactions and foreign currency exchange at the current exchange rate.
High security
Security is always the most important factor when it comes to digital transactions. Neobank application implements 2FA (2-factor authorization), biometric verification, RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), encryption technology along with other security measures to protect customer data row.
