I used to work in a neo-bank earlier. These are my observations

  • ability to innovate is hard. Dependencies on RBI and banks are impediment.
  • neo banks are a tech layer on existing banking infrastructure. You depend on bank for any changes. Freedom to experiment is almost nil.
  • can’t make money, lending is the only way to make money. Again macro economics and monetary policies govern the margins of a neobank to make money.
  • can’t have a super app for banking. Incumbents are getting there with their tech stack. So new young companies cannot move faster.
  • consumers don’t pay for services for banking, they are paying for their primary banks regardless.
  • consumers already have primary bank accounts, why have an alternative. It does serve a marginal section of user base.

I think, for his calibre or anyone at this level need to have the wiggle room to make impact. Outcomes tightly coupled and aligned with governance is stifling. This is my view.
