Our take
The rise of online and mobile banking is well and truly underway. The digitisation of financial services has been coming for a long time, and we can now see the real potential of this industry to revolutionise the ways we think about money.
Leading the charge in Europe is German startup Vivid Money. Its platform allows users to send, receive, spend, invest and save money in different ways. Framed as a competitor to Revolut, Vivid is hoping to disrupt the market of existing online financial services from the big banks all the way to retail trader platforms.
Vivid has already attracted enormous investor interest, leading to some impressive funding rounds. It has used this to develop its app, make hires across Europe and boost marketing efforts. Building on impressive early metrics (in its first full year of operation Vivid built a customer base of over 500,000) the company is in a good position to make waves in the European financial industry and beyond.
