Why This Is NeoFi

N26 represents NeoFi from the TradFi side: it integrates on-chain asset exposure within a fully regulated banking framework, provides real-world financial utility through a full banking licence and millions of users, and operates at institutional grade as a licensed European bank.

The three pillars of NeoFi:

  • On-Chain Execution: All operations and settlement occur transparently on blockchain, ensuring full auditability and programmability.

  • Institutional-Grade Design: Infrastructure meets the standards of professional finance: robust risk management, compliance frameworks, scalability, and operational resilience.
