​The neobanking industry has experienced significant growth, with the global market size reaching $47 billion in 2021 and projections suggesting it could surpass $2 trillion by 2030.  This expansion is driven by factors such as rapid account setup, enhanced security measures, user-friendly interfaces, and lower fees compared to traditional banks. However, despite their popularity, profitability remains a challenge; as of 2022, only about 5% of neobanks have achieved profitability, primarily due to their focus on growth over monetization.  Additionally, the rise of neobanks has prompted traditional banks to accelerate their digital transformation efforts to remain competitive. ​

If you are looking to build and launch your own neobank, there are three main paths you can take:

  1. Become a bank 
  2. Partner with a bank 
  3. Use the Banking-as-a-Service play 

The Financial Times recently reported that a growing number of companies are looking to build neobanks. This is not surprising given the significant potential for disruption in this space. But how do you go about building one? The first step is to identify what problem your neobank will solve, and then think through what processes need to be created or automated in order to achieve this goal. From there, it’s time to start building! Check out these three steps for launching a successful neobank.

This blog post shares in 5 steps what you need to know to start your own bank.

New start-up will benefit from banking as a service plug-and-play approach.

Neo banks usually do not have a banking license, but you can partner with banks to offer services: personal loans, trading, mortgage, tax advisory. Neo banks offer a better user experience. User experience is key to facilitate account opening. A financial institution can help you get a banking license umbrella in the country your company starts. These banks usually have a lot more features than neobanks: they provide saving accounts, checking account services, and loans. You might know – WeBank by Tencent, NuBank, digibank (by DBS) or Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Yolt, and Moven are examples of neo banks. These digital banks mostly use completely new technology platforms, thereby reducing dependencies on their parents.
