  • The Rise of the Neo-Bank
    The rise of the neo-bank yieldreport.com.au/insights/the-rise-of-the-neo-bank/ 13 January 2020 By guest contributor Jake Jodlowski, Principal, Atchison Consultants Given the continued reputational damage suffered by the big four Australian banks throughout and post the Banking Royal Commission hearings, bank customers and investors may be looking for alternatives. Whilst still in its infancy, Australia’s banking and credit start-up sector has grown leaps and bounds in recent years, with Afterpay Touch Group (ASX: APT) and Zip Co Limited (ASX: ZIP) being high-profile examples. Although the “buy-now, pay-later” (BNPL) sector has received most of the media coverage, the development of so-called “neo-banks” has also started to gain momentum. Neo-banks are best described as traditional banks without a bricks and mortar presence, with their entire offering supplied through digital means, usually through an app and on-line platform. They are fully functioning deposit-taking institutions and therefore fall under the supervision of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). APRA must provide a license before an institution may accept customer deposits. An unrestricted banking license permits a corporation to operate as a “banking business” and therefore an authorized deposit-taking institution (ADI) without restrictions under the Banking Act 1959. Part 5 of the Banking Act defines “banking business” as consisting of both taking deposits (other than as part-payment for identified goods and services) and making advances of money, as well as other financial activities prescribed by regulations made under the Banking Act. The arrival of neo-banking in Australia follows the emergence of start-up banks like Monzo and Starling in the UK.

Ok, so not back to full capacity just yet, but we have seen a number of funds, banks & professional services firms return in some form to the office – week on/week off, book your desk with capacity % limits, split teams & floors, the list goes on. As a result, the corresponding increase in face to face meetings in offices, coffee shops or even over lunch - dare we say it is feeling almost a little more “normal“ around town. We at JMES have a sense that many are yearning to be back in the office in some form. The camaraderie created by spending time with colleagues side by side in the trenches surely trumps the back to back monotony of non-stop Zoom calls tied to a laptop at home. So, what next for 2021? We have all seen the high-profile new entrants in Barrenjoey & Jarden providing some market disruption. But there have also been other good examples of clients (funds, banks, corporates and government agencies) committed to completing hiring processes in Q3 and into Q4 – so whilst certainly not back to 2019 volumes, there is positive hiring momentum. A number of our clients have kicked off processes to ensure starters in place for Q1 of 2021, and notably, these are not just replacement hires but newly created roles, surely providing a level of confidence heading into the new year.

  • Xinja’S Response to Treasury’S Consultation on Reducing Barriers to New Entrants to the Banking Sector - Removing Restrictions on the Use of the Term 'Bank'
    Xinja’s Response to Treasury’s Consultation on reducing barriers to new entrants to the banking sector - removing restrictions on the use of the term 'bank' Submitted via email to [email protected] ​ 27 July 2017 Introduction Xinja welcomes the opportunity to respond to proposed amendments to the Banking Act, per the Exposure draft Treasury Laws Amendment (2017 4 Measures No. 8) Bill 2017: amendment to 5 section 66 of Banking Act. Xinja strongly supports the current proposals to lift the existing prohibition on the use of the word 'bank' by authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) with less than $50 million in capital. We believe this will remove a significant commercial barrier to entry and enable the banking sector to enjoy the growth in technology and innovation already embraced by other sectors without such significant capital barriers to entry. Xinja is building Australia’s first neobank, designed to be 100% digital and made entirely for mobile, from the ground up with customer interests at heart. We are not a bank yet, but we want to be. Xinja is working in partnership with APRA and ASIC to become a bank and obtain an AFSL and ACL. This will enable Xinja to provide a full range of retail banking products and services (eg. transaction accounts, savings accounts, home loans). Having recently completed our seed and Series A funding round, we are keen to share our experience of becoming a new entrant to the Australian banking system. Xinja was created with the belief that it’s time for Australians to enjoy the benefits of banking competition, innovation and quality of service already enjoyed by customers in other parts of the world.
