Hello everyone,
is there a ~complete list in the forum of digital banks without branches - (like N26, Revolut)? I'm no able to find such thread with search.
 
Just look up N26 in Apple Appstore or Google Play Store then look at the‌ suggestions it gives you under similiar apps. Thats how I discover new ones every day.‍
 
Gekkard is also an option, seems to be a sister product of Blackcatcard (i.e. Papaya,‌ Ltd, out of Malta). Fast signup.
 
It is‍ still a neobank, which is the topic of this thread 🙂
 
I think that it would be useful to clarify the term “neobank”.
In my perception – but maybe I am wrong – it is a financial institution offering‌ all services fully on-line (frequently even without any physical branches) having a standard banking licence.‍ It means, not an EMI, that has a different licence and works in a different⁠ way. (Both bank and EMI have some pros and cons, of course.)
The abovestated list,⁤ IMO, mixes the issues, it contains “real” neobanks (Aion bank, Monzo), EMI's (blackcatcard, VIALET, bnc10⁣ – the last IMO especially shady, Spanish label of an Ireland company really not very⁢ transparently presented) and even special subjects like Golden Suisse (as far as I understand, they︀ are in gold & silver bullion business, payments are possible only between customers).
Well, your︁ reflections? 🙂
 
🙂 As it seems like terminological discussion is not so attractive until now, I will just‌ add some neobanks IMO missing in the list
- Bunq (bunq | bank of‍ The Free)
- Moneycorp Bank (moneycorpbank)
- mBank (branches in various countries,⁠ roots in PL)
- KT Bank (KT Bank AG)
(Yes, the last named⁤ is specific but it offers personal account fully online and has banking licence, so...)

Moneycorp's website doesn't have a valid ssl certificate.
Do mBank and KT accept foreign customers/companies?

Yes, it‌ expired 2021-06 or so – I must admit, I do not care... (it should not‍ happen, but it is not a real problem).

KT – yes. (But beware, only personal accounts can be⁤ opened fully online.)
mBank – I do not know exactly, it might vary from country⁣ to country. Necessary to check.
 
I once compiled a huge list of neo banks, but truth is. Those banks keep‌ coming and going all the time, so I honestly don't know how accurate and update‍ it would be nowadays.
 
Not really,‍ they definitely onboard clients from countries other than these 3.
 
Thanks for all the links shared.

I am looking for a NeoBank for my IT‌ based online business worldwide (Independent Software Vendor) with EUR and USD accounts for transactions in‍ the 10K$ to 100K$ range.
.
I'd need the NeoBank to be outside of Europe⁠ (Ideally Singapore, maybe UK US HK) and most of Neobank quoted are EU based.

Does anyone has reliable recommendation given these constraints? Here are the results of my investigations:

this thread could go endless, there are thousands of neobanks it's impossible to list them‌ in an thread like this.
 
Your situation have been probably / hopefully already solved;⁠ but if eventually not, it would be fruitful to share your location: you posted that⁤ “AirWallex.com is not currently available in my region”; and IMO, AirWallex has one of the⁣ narrowest list of prohibited countries (if I take into account EMI's with some reputation known⁢ to me)...

Yes, definitely 🙂
But anyway, sometimes it is really useful reading 🙂 🙂
Just to add, in this thread Question -︁ Best banking options (Malta/E-Commerce) it is possible to find several interesting lists of EMI's /︂ Neobanks, with comments. Worth reading, too; IMO.
