We test and compare for you

Neobanks are the new way of banking. With dozens of new banks and fintechs operating in the EU, millions of customers and billions of Euros in funding, there is a multitude of options to choose from. Whether early starters like Germany’s N26 Bank, the UKs Revolut or bunq operating from the Netherlands, choices are plenty.

With our regular comparisons of fintechs, neobanks and money institutions, we try to give you an overview of the European banking and Fintech market to make the best choice.

In order to do so, we open our own bank accounts with all the hip online banks and try them out ourselves.

GIROMATCH reviews
Vivid or Tomorrow?

For each review we do, we test the bank account ourselves. This includes a full account opening, trying out the credit cards (or usually debit cards), look at the differen account models and features.

Every bank has its own special feature, to which we pay attention. N26 offers personal loans and credit limits, whereas Revolut is much better for international money transfers. Monese offers international payments as well, but in 14 different languages. Bunq is leading in number of features and Tomorrow has a focus on sustainability. And if you’re looking for crypto trading, is Vivid or Nuri the better option?

These are the features that we look out for and give you a quick wrap-up on. Now, on to the fintech and neobank reviews!
