The Mifos Initiative

Conduct a regional landscape analysis of neobanks and challenger banks for South America

Objective

As the functional footprint and support for digital financial services within Mifos/Fineract extends with our brand new Fineract CN architecture, a new target market for adoption of our software is the growing class of neobanks and challenger banks starting up. Across each region we'd like to make a comprehensive database of these leading new banks so we can track the sector and build awareness amongst the major players. This page has a nice defnition and overview of these banks.
