N26 Is Following Revolut Into Regulatory Hot Water
Business Insider Intelligence sought out Arachnys CEO David Buxton to provide commentary surrounding Germany-based neobank N26 as well as general compliance challenges banks are currently facing.
N26’s challenges are a microcosm of those facing incumbent banks, where much more complex product offerings, legacy tech, and geographical complexity — especially in compliance and KYC — are crippling whole business lines. For example, one European global bank has effectively stopped onboarding new customers because of a mismatch between regulatory expectations and their technology.
