by Neo and Challenger Bank’s Market is expected to rise by a double digit CAGR of 46.5% in 2019-2026, worth USD 186 billion. The favourable provisions from several government agencies worldwide as well as the benefit of Neo Banks to customers in the form of fast account opening are factors that influence the growth of the Neo & Challenger Banks industry. Another driver to the growth of the Neo and Challenger banks market is the growing penetration of the Internet globally, especially in developing nations such as China and India.
Millennials, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), erratic sales and profits, the introduction of emerging technology and growing consumption are among the catalysts for neo-bank performance. In order to allow neo banks to infiltrate smartphones and the internet more extensively. The familiarity of consumers with digital technologies and basic information about financial goods and services is another aspect. However, due to the limited product scope offered by Neo Banks, demand expansion could be restricted.
Characteristics and services such as simplicity, cost-effective multi-bank and financial features, and personalization are some of the main drivers for neo-banks worldwide. A further consideration is that FinTechs are designing niche solutions that concentrate on blue colour jobs, thereby pushing the underserved requirements of thin-file MSMEs. Neo banking will act as an extension for initiatives implemented with other financial institutions to overcome the complexities of financial inclusion and banking bundling, such as programmes such as opening immigrator accounts, enabled by new on boarding protocols not focused on conventional identity documents.
The rivalry between conventional banks, new-aged financial developments, technology companies and non-bank entrants has been increasing, and it remains to be seen if the demand is very much adequate for neo-banks to expand sustainably and equitably. The fundamental determinants of their performance would be how neo-banks address vital challenges in the fields of enforcement and policy, data and cyber, unified incorporation of APIs and extension of goods and operation.
