Scapia

active

Indian travel credit card. Zero forex, Federal Bank issued.

4.4

Bengaluru · 3M+ · Series B-era

7.5Solid

Scapia is the Indian travel-card answer, not a current account. Put it next to Niyo (forex prepaid) and a scheduled-bank salary account. Do not list it as a neobank deposit.

Best for: Indians who want a travel credit card with a named scheduled-bank issuer.

Licence

Credit card issued by a scheduled bank

Protection

Not a deposit account. There is no DICGC on a credit-card limit. Federal Bank is the issuer of the card.

Monthly

Nil joining / annual on the core travel card (confirm live offer)

#2 alternative

Jupiter

active

Indian money app on a partner-bank current account.

4.3

Bengaluru · 8M+ · ~$130M raised

6.9Mixed

Buy Jupiter for the app. Read the partner-bank line for the deposit. Same rule as Fi.

Best for: Urban Indian users who want a prettier Federal Bank account.

Licence

Partner-bank / NBFC stack

Protection

DICGC on the partner scheduled bank, up to ₹5 lakh — not on the Jupiter brand

Monthly

Free core · metal/credit extras paid

#3 alternative

Fi

closed

Fi was an Indian money app on a Federal Bank savings account. The app is no longer the channel. The deposit was always Federal Bank.

4.1

Bengaluru · 5M+ · ~$140M raised

6.9Mixed

The Fi app is not where you bank. On 11 March 2026 Fi told customers the banking services on the app would stop. Federal Bank said the partnership was ending and the account stayed put. That is the whole file. Directories that still list Fi as a live Indian neobank are dating a wrapper. NeoBankDB keeps the slug so “Fi Money alternative” search does not hit a 404, and so the 2021–26 wrapper era has an obituary. Funds were never at “Fi Bank”. There is no such licence. Download Federal Bank’s FedMobile. The account number did not change. Compare live India files: Jupiter, Niyo, Scapia (card, not a deposit).

Best for: Historical file. Do not open the savings SKU here.

Licence

Partner-bank fintech

Protection

DICGC follows Federal Bank, not Fi. If you still have the account, open FedMobile.

Monthly

Free core · Fit Rules / US stocks extras

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

No fees whenever possible — live list on yuh.com/en/pricing

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.

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.

Monthly

$0 monthly on chequing, on the September 2026 agreement
