Independent modern-money intelligence

The database for modern money.

Understand what a financial app legally is, where it works, how its funds are treated and whether money can move to the next service—before marketing language blurs the answer.

  • Country-scoped facts
  • Source-linked claims
  • No pay-to-rank sorting

Evidence-backed route example

Wise account → Coinbase

A shared payment rail is not proof that two products work together. Load the reviewed edge to see the exact distinction.

Product-type map

Name the product before comparing it.

NeobankDB separates product classes because a useful comparison starts with what each service actually does—not with an app-store category or a loose ‘neobank’ label.

01

Licensed digital banks

A bank only when the relevant legal entity and market evidence support that classification.

02

Banking fintechs

Technology companies whose banking products depend on named partner institutions and programme terms.

03

Multicurrency accounts

Accounts and payment services built around receiving, holding and converting supported currencies.

04

Payment wallets

Services designed to store payment credentials or balances and move money under product-specific rules.

05

Business finance

Payment, card, expense and treasury platforms for eligible organisations rather than consumer banking.

06

Crypto platforms

Exchanges, custody products and gateways kept separate from bank deposits and cash protections.

Transaction intelligence

A route is a reviewed edge, not a guess.

Two services can each support dollars or bank transfers while still blocking a specific direction, counterparty or use. The seeded Wise-to-Coinbase example records an unsupported outgoing account-transfer route in the United States.

That finding does not automatically cover every country or a Wise card transaction. Product, direction, market and rail remain separate fields so a precise answer cannot silently become a global claim.

Country discovery

Start with the market.

Eligibility, legal entities, payment rails and protection arrangements change across borders. The United States is the first complete country hub.

Launch market

United States

The seed contains 14 scoped availability records for the United States. Each record keeps its classification, legal entity, partner institution, source IDs and verification state together.

The NeobankDB standard

Evidence before recommendation.

The database is designed to preserve inconvenient distinctions rather than collapse them into a simple badge.

01

Country scope

Availability and fees belong to a market, product and date. A fact observed in the US is never presented as worldwide.

02

Legal structure

Brand, regulated entity, product and partner institution stay separate so ‘bank’ is used only when justified.

03

Visible source ledger

Material claims carry evidence IDs and observed dates. Conflicts remain visible and require review.

04

No pay-to-rank

Commercial relationships cannot alter facts, scores or organic ordering. Unsupported affiliate claims do not publish.

Latest verification notes

What the source ledger currently supports.

These are source observations, not invented newsroom updates. They remain dated so readers can judge freshness.
