Neo- and challenger banks have become more and more popular in recent years, attracting an increasing number of customers, particularly among younger generations. Traditional banks and financial institutions also started to acknowledge the potential of these new players in the financial sector. According to an annual survey carried out between 2020 and 2024 among executives at banks and credit unions in the United States, the share of respondents who saw neo- and challenger banks as a competitive threat for traditional banking increased sharply between 2020 and 2024, from 14 percent to 40 percent.
