Banxy Bank

Banxy is Algeria’s neobank from French bank Natixis. Natixis, traditionally a corporate and investment bank, has chosen Algeria as the first market for its new retail banking service.

The First Smartphone Bank in Algeria

The combination of a mature mobile market served by a relatively unsophisticated range of banking products, and the prospect of enthusiastic state support made Algeria an ideal launch pad for Banxy.

Banxy launched a secure bank account, accessible via
smartphone, offering remote banking services available to all
and designed to make banking accessible, easy, and an essential
part of consumers’ lives.

The primary objective was to reach out to the younger generation across the country through mobile-friendly products and services, international payment methods to support travel and e-commerce transactions and a simplified savings offering. Success was met within less than a year with customers acquired across the entire territory, as far as the Sahara region!

'Uberised' Banking

Banxy developed Bank2Me, an ‘uberised’ banking concept with door-to-door services to extend the bank’s reach so that customers never have to visit a branch. The onboarding process is done via video call which was fine-tuned to use limited bandwidth. 5 steps only are required to collect regulatory information. 

Leveraging on Fidor's open API platform, a bank account is created and activated following the collection of customer's signature while he receives in exchange its banking kit at the same time. This simplified process removed frictions for all stakeholders throughout the onboarding experience while ensuring compliance is met.  All visits are scheduled on self-service via the app giving full control to the customer and Banxy's logistics partners to ensure a speed service. Banking services usually provided to corporate customers such as cash delivery, collection and more are now available to retail customers through a simple click and order from the app.
