Get ready for the digital banking showdown
IBS Intelligence is proud to bring you the 2024 edition of the Annual IBSi Digital Banking Awards – celebrating the biggest names in Digital banks, Challenger banks, and Neo banks, along with technology players.
The traditional way of banking, where customers were required to visit physical branches for their transactions, is a thing of the past. In today’s on-demand economy, digital-only banks are revolutionizing the banking experience, providing customers with the freedom to conduct their financial transactions online, anytime and from anywhere they choose. They have emerged as the preferred choice for digitally-native customers, offering convenience, flexibility, and a seamless user experience.
With a focus on technology-driven solutions, enhanced customer experiences, and greater accessibility, neobanks and challenger banks are challenging the status quo and reshaping the banking landscape. They are at the forefront of the digital revolution, empowering customers to take control of their financial lives and ushering in a new era of banking possibilities.

With dynamic online platforms, innovative user experience, and faster delivery of offerings, Neobanks and Challenger banks are presenting themselves as more flexible and inclusive alternatives to traditional banks. Traditional banks, too, have recognised this fact and have already begun creating digital-only banking subsidiaries of their own. In recognition of the emergence of these banks and the changing market dynamics of banking, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the third edition of the Annual IBSi Digital Banking Awards.
