Hayat Finans

active

Türkiye’s first digital bank on its own copy. BDDK participation bank. Hayat Holding.

Istanbul · Türkiye digital participation bank · Hayat Holding — capital TRY 1.5bn on operator copy

7.1Solid

Hayat Finans Katılım Bankası A.Ş. is a BDDK-licensed digital participation bank. Their own English news page: Hayat Holding established it with capital of TRY 1.5 billion; on 23 March it obtained its operating licence from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and became Turkey’s first digital bank. Headquarters on the 2025 financials: Mahir İz Cad., No: 25, 34662 Altunizade, Üsküdar / İstanbul. NFC chip-ID onboarding is the published path. Enpara is now a separate BDDK bank after the 2025 QNB spin-off — different file. BankPozitif is a development bank, not this. Eligible deposits follow TMSF at a licensed bank; confirm the live cap. Keep a second account if you need a euro salary rail.

Best for: Turkish residents who want a BDDK digital participation bank, not a wallet.

Licence

Digital participation bank — Hayat Finans Katılım Bankası A.Ş. Operating licence 23 March 2023

Protection

Hayat Finans Katılım Bankası A.Ş. is a BDDK-licensed participation bank. Eligible bank deposits in Türkiye sit with TMSF — confirm the live cap on tmsf.org.tr. This file does not invent a lira figure the homepage did not print. A participation bank is still a bank; an e-money wallet is not.

BankPozitif

active

Istanbul development/investment bank. BDDK. TMSF-administered after the 2025 PayFix mess. Not a travel neobank.

Istanbul · Specialist-bank scale · TMSF-era ownership

5.3Caution

BankPozitif is a BDDK development and investment bank, not a travel neobank. PayFix bought it in 2023. BDDK handed management rights to TMSF in March 2025 after the betting and AML allegations. An auction was run later in 2025. Score the licence, then score the mess. Do not open this as a weekend-FX account.

Best for: Nobody picking a holiday IBAN. Listed so a directory cannot sell an investment bank as a challenger.

Licence

Development and investment bank — BankPozitif Kredi ve Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş.

Protection

TMSF on eligible deposits at the licensed bank — coverage restated in 2026; confirm live cap. TMSF is also the administrator of the 2025 share file.

Revolut

active

Digital bank and e-money app. Licence depends on the entity.

4.7

London · 50M+ · $1.7B raised · ~$45B val.

8.6Strong

The default comparison set for a reason. Treat the UK bank product and the e-money wallet as different legal objects, then Revolut wins most travel and multi-currency briefs. It is not the quietest home for a salary if you want a full-licence high-street feel — that is still Starling or Monzo in the UK.

Best for: People who live in more than one currency and want one app for spend, FX, and extras.

Licence

UK bank (eligible customers)

Protection

Eligible deposits at Revolut Bank UK Ltd: FSCS up to £120,000 per person (scheme cap from 1 Dec 2025; Revolut FSCS sheet). Revolut Ltd e-money is safeguarded, not FSCS (UK personal terms, 11 Dec 2025). New customers from 11 March 2026 may still be onboarded onto an EMI account with Revolut Ltd.

Monthly

Free · Plus/Premium/Metal/Ultra paid

Yuh

active

Yuh is not a bank. Swissquote Bank Ltd is. esisuisse cover is CHF 100,000, shared.

Gland · Swiss all-in-one app · Swissquote (100% after July 2025)

7.6Solid

Yuh is not a bank. The English homepage says it in one paragraph: Swissquote Bank Ltd provides the banking, FINMA authorises that bank, and esisuisse cover is CHF 100,000 shared with Swissquote. July 2025 ended the PostFinance joint venture. If you already hold cash at Swissquote, do not count CHF 100,000 twice. Zak is Bank Cler. Neon sits at Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. Read those files separately.

Best for: People who live in Switzerland and want spend plus invest, and who accept Swissquote as the bank.

Licence

Fintech app — not a bank

Protection

Yuh itself is not a bank. Banking sits at Swissquote Bank Ltd, FINMA-authorised. esisuisse covers eligible deposits up to CHF 100,000. Yuh and Swissquote are one entity, so the cap is shared.

Monthly

Chase UK

active

J.P. Morgan Europe Limited trading as Chase. UK bank, PRA/FCA, FSCS up to £120,000.

London · UK digital bank · JPMorgan Chase

7.6Solid

Chase UK is a bank. The legal name is J.P. Morgan Europe Limited. PRA-authorised, FCA-regulated, FSCS up to £120,000. It is a useful UK current account with honest travel spend. It is not Revolut’s multi-country stack and not a US Chase login. UK tax residents only.

Best for: UK residents who want a JPMorgan current account in an app, with FSCS, and cheap travel spend.

Licence

Neo Financial

active

Calgary fintech. Not an OSFI bank. Eligible cash sits in trust at CDIC-member institutions.

Calgary · Canadian fintech · Private

6.8Mixed

Neo Financial is not a bank. Neo Financial Technologies Inc. is a Calgary fintech, a FINTRAC money-services business and a payments-Canada PSP. CDIC cover, when it applies, follows the member institution that holds the funds in trust — Peoples Bank of Canada is named on the HISA. File it as a Canadian app with a partner-bank deposit, not as EQ Bank.

Best for: Canadian residents who want the Neo app and will read which CDIC member holds the cash.

Licence

MSB and payment service provider

Protection

Neo is not a CDIC member. Eligible funds held in trust at CDIC-member institutions can be covered up to CAD $100,000 per beneficiary per member institution.
