AND THEY ALREADY LOVE US

We received a great deal of support from entrepreneurs since Day 1 of the project

THE 3 PILLARS OF BAD BANKING SERVICE

Average contribution margin ratio of 25% + high fixed costs.Banks have to reach a huge scale to be profitable.

2 INSANE MARGINAL COSTS (REGULATORY AND COST OF ACQUISITION)

The bank account itself is a highly negative margin product. Banks have to cross-sell a lot to survive (credit, insurance, savings, …)

1 THE BUSINESS MODEL IS NOT BUILT FOR SERVICE

The banking model does not work in a low rate environment. Every bank is attempting to shift towards a higher degree of commission based

model without success.

3 HIGH SENSITIVITY OF MARGINS TO INTEREST RATES (CURRENTLY ALL-TIME LOW)

PRIOR TO 2000s BANK REGULATION DID NOT REALLY EXIST

Since the beginning of 2000s, banks have had to comply with accelerating regulatory pressure. Two main effects: increase in client onboarding and regulatory costs and deterioration of tech legacy.
