What is a neobank?

Symbolizing the beginning of a new era in the banking sector, the neobank presents itself as the solution that is revolutionizing banking, emphasizing the customer experience and services designed to help individual and professional users on a daily basis. Under the name "mobile first", "mobile only" or "100% mobile", the neobank provides its customers with the tools to manage their banking flows, without necessarily having a computer at hand.


Neobanking vs. traditional and online banking


While online banking marked the first step in the transformation of the banking sector, by offering a dematerialized structure and presenting on the Internet the operations that can be carried out at the counter, the neobank is a 100% mobile bank, which goes as far as imagining services adapted to the needs of customers who carry out their banking operations through a mobile application only.


Neo-banks were created to meet, above all, customer needs that traditional banks are unable to meet. The focus is on the customer experience and support in their daily tasks. Neobanks differ from online banks in that they are accessible only or mainly through their websites. This ease of access aims to provide customers with useful non-banking services, in order to save them time and optimize their operations.


Reinventing the standards of banking at a lower cost than traditional players or online banks: this is the objective of neobanks today.


Olkypay, the neobank that adapts to its customers' behavior to better meet their needs


Recognized and rewarded in France and Luxembourg for its engineering in terms of payment services and instruments, Olkypay is a fully-fledged neo-bank whose offer is based on a platform integrating multiple transversal payment methods including SDD (Sepa Direct Debit), SCT (Sepa Credit Transfer), TIP-SEPA and credit cards.


Olkypay also offers professionals the opportunity to be paid by their customers through different payment methods, without having to rely on a third party, such as a bank for example, thus reducing the time needed to collect payments.
