Fidor Bank



Taking Europe by storm
Fidor Bank is Europe’s original, digital challenger bank.
Founded in 2009 in Germany, Fidor has become the
world’s first ‘fintech bank’, pioneering the collaboration
between traditional financial services and technology
businesses. Fidor Bank offers a customer-centric banking
service with the possibilities of digitalisation and web 2.0.
That means speed as well as modern products and services – like
crowdfunding, trading of virtual currencies and 60 second bank transfers.
The open API structure allows for an ever-growing offering to include various, innovative services. In this way Fidor Bank also acts as a marketplace for its customers, giving them access to a large selection of financial services, products and offerings through its partnerships.

Exceptional customer engagement
The open banking concept provides an online community for people to provide and receive financial advice - incentivising users to do so through rewards such as cash, or improved current account and savings bond interest rates. The personalised approach to banking gives every customer a voice in how the bank is run, as well as giving them unprecedented control. For example: discussing the future interest rates, or naming the current account card that the bank will use, are just some of the options we’ve explored. Together with customers, we co-create and rethink the future of banking.
