Bankable va fournir à Moneyou, filiale digitale d’ABN Amro, un service de comptes courants

Les Echos, France’s leading financial news paper, highlights Bankable’s Banking as a Service platform powering of ABN AMRO Bank’s fully-digital consumer subsidiary, Moneyou.

“Encore balbutiante en Europe, la distribution de briques de services bancaires par des jeunes pousses de la finance passe un cap. Ce ne sont plus seulement d’autres fintech désireuses de croquer des parts de marché plus rapidement qui se montrent intéressées : les banques européennes, elles-mêmes, signent désormais aussi des partenariats avec ces nouveaux spécialistes de la « banque Lego ». Moneyou, filiale d’ABN Amro spécialisé dans l’épargne, va ainsi annoncer ce mardi la signature d’une alliance avec Bankable. Cette jeune pousse britannique a vocation à fournir un compte courant aux 500.000 clients détenteurs d’un produit d’épargne chez Moneyou aux Pays-Bas, en Allemagne, en Belgique et en Autriche. « Avec ce partenariat, nous n’accédons pas seulement à un produit de banque au quotidien centré sur le paiement. Nous allons bénéficier d’une plate-forme bancaire très agile, qui va nous permettre de construire avec Bankable des services adaptés aux nouveaux besoins de nos clients », se félicite Liesbeth Rigter, directrice générale de Moneyou.”

Alexander Neagoe on Brexit, FinTech and more at Legalia’s Roundtable in Rome

Alexander Neagoe, Bankable’s Senior Project Manager, was invited to talk about the implication of Brexit on the world of retail finance and the FinTech industry. Alexander highlighted that the true impact would depend on whether or not the UK continued to remain in the EEA region vs the EU. “It largely depends on whether passporting rights will remain and whether financial service providers will be able to offer their products and services across EEA borders. I believe however, as FinTechs are majorly technology providers, the industry as a whole will be less impacted as compared to their bank clients and partners. However, this in turn may also allow potential growth opportunities for FinTechs and financial institutions across multiple markets,” said Alexander. See the event details here.
