Boston, December 10, 2020 – The digital acceleration in retail banking has given rise to a proliferation of digital-only banks. These neobanks interact with their customers exclusively through digital channels and have differentiated their offering from that of traditional banking by focusing on the customer experience. But can neobanks independently scale, build a profitable banking business, and remain independent, or will they find themselves usurped or absorbed by incumbents?

This report gives an overview of the current neobank landscape. Based on Aite Group’s 2020 interviews with executives from 21 leading organizations, including neobanks, traditional banks, and technology providers in the banking industry, it examines neobanks’ value proposition and defines various categories of neobanks, the business models and strategies they deploy, and the criteria for success.
