Lower fees and customized and innovative services have powered the growth of neobanks in the financial services market. It has transformed the rules of competition and changed customer perceptions of banking.

With minimal physical infrastructure and concentrated digital services, neobanks are not burdened with the overhead of maintaining a physical branch network. This eventually saves the model for passing on savings to customers by offering low transaction fees, foreign exchanges, or account management fees. Serving customers seeking a more equal and open-minded route to financial services, its clientele went from tech-savvy millennials to small business owners tired of the traditional bank charges. Such a reduction of fees creates customer loyalty and better finance management for the customers themselves, thus making neobanks quite attractive as an alternative to conventional banking.
