At a glance
Is it a bank?
No. Slice is not a bank. Your money sits with Partner banks (confirm live issuer).
If it fails?
Credit product first — not a DICGC savings account
Salary?
Not listed. An IBAN or sort code is not automatically a salary account.
Open from abroad?
Residency and KYC are gated. An App Store listing is not proof you can onboard.

NeoBankDB Verdict
Licence first · score second

/10 · Mixed
Treat Slice as a credit rail. If you need DICGC, open a scheduled bank.
What it is
Slice started as small-ticket credit and spent years trying to look like a neobank. The live product is still credit, sitting on partner banks.
Best for: Indian users who want UPI credit, not a savings account.
