Definition:

Digital Banks refer to the emerging market for purely digital banks that offer financial services via online and mobile platforms. Unlike traditional banks, digital banks also known as neobanks, do not have store-based branches and instead rely on technology to deliver their services. But in contrast to digital-only direct banks, which focus on providing traditional banking services in an online format, the digital banks/neobanks covered in this analysis prioritize cutting-edge features and a modern user experience.
Digital Banks offer a wide range of financial products and services, including savings and checking accounts, credit cards, personal loans, and investment products, among others. They aim to provide a more convenient, accessible, and user-friendly banking experience by leveraging technology such as mobile apps and artificial intelligence. They also provide a digital identification and onboarding process, often via smartphone.
The Digital Banks market is growing rapidly as consumers increasingly demand more convenient, digitally focused financial services. Neobanks/Digital Banks are able to offer these services at a lower cost compared to traditional banks, as they have lower overhead costs and a more efficient operating model.
However, digital banks face challenges in building trust and establishing their reputation in the financial services industry. They must also navigate the complex regulatory landscape and comply with the same rules and standards as traditional banks.
Overall, the Digital Banks market represents a growing and exciting opportunity for financial services providers to deliver innovative and convenient solutions to consumers.
