A digital bank is an online banking platform with a financial institution and depository regulatory license. The financial institution is licensed to i) offer multicurrency corporate current and deposit bank account, ii) an e-banking platform to make outgoing funds transfers and iii) issue corporate visa debit and credit cards.

Digibanks do not have their own SWIFT or IBAN. Instead, customers’ funds are usually stored in segregated corporate bank account in a top-tier conventional bank, such as a UK or EU clearing bank. For example, it will be HSBC, Barclays or a bank from the SEPA group. In some countries, Clients’ funds are protected by government deposit insurance schemes, but in most countries, the funds are not protected by the government.

Before recommending a digibank to our multinational Clients, Healy Consultants Group PLC will complete detailed Know Your Bank due diligence to safeguard their funds. Below is a table of international digital banks options in different countries.
