The range of services provided by neobanks is not as broad as that of their traditional counterparts. Unlike incumbent banks, a large portion of the income of neobanks is mainly made up of transaction fees received when customers pay with their debit card.
Neobanks are fintech companies that offer both standard banking services entirely online and non-traditional ones (peer-to-peer payments, financial advisory robots, cryptocurrency transactions, and crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for certain financial projects or their intangible equivalents that are directly related to the project).
