What this means for Neobanks

  • Interchange-driven unit economics are exposed to card mix, regulation, and partner economics in ways the original model did not anticipate.

Where it pays to act

  • AI-driven KYC and identity verification to compress onboarding cost-per-account and reduce manual review queues.
