Digital Banks are the future. Today’s online banking services dominated big and outdated banks suck. Big banks’ mobile apps are like dinosaurs, and their fees and services quickly add up. Big banks also don’t give you any benefit for foreign diversification and travel unless you obtain a credit card. Good luck reading the fine print.
As we look towards the next decade, the Financial Tech industry has made great strides in creating successful digital banking services to provide foreign diversification and border-less banking.
In my previous post, I’ve been a big advocate of foreign diversification and travel. Anyone with travel experience knows that managing money overseas for spending can be a challenge.
You either open up a foreign transaction credit card, or exchange currency at a local bank or airport. But this is really inconvenient and expensive. If you have spontaneous travel plans, you may not have enough time to get approved for a credit card. You also wouldn’t want to deal with getting a pull on your credit history.
And It usually takes weeks for a typical card from a bank to arrive.
After all who wants to deal with big banks anymore? Many smaller, online banks provide easier access, and let you directly manage your foreign currency from your phone. Their apps are seamless, and user experience is awesome. They provide in app spending and budgeting features, as well as other services which big banks lack today.
These small digital banks provide control over your debit card directly on your phone. Since many of these banks are businesses located overseas, you can also exchange currencies all online.
