More about our partnership with Hypothekarbank Lenzburg (german)
neon wants to bring you the fastest and cheapest account app for your everyday banking, independent of existing banks. With neon, you're completely mobile as you can access your money from anywhere. With an intuitive app and fairer prices. Always confident that your money is safe. Behind the curtain, neon is four founders with a total of over 50 years experience in the banking sector, supported by a strong team with a big vision. They built the app they've been sorely missing.
Freedom. Independence. Mobility. Transparency. Speed. An uncomplicated app, an uncomplicated offer. No CEOs, no large bonuses, no risky business. Just neon and you. Fairer prices. No base fees for your account and card. And no fees for card payments anywhere in the world. The possibilities are endless with neon, because neon grows alongside you. We will offer you more products for retirement or loans, if that's what you need.
Surprisingly little. Your account does not carry a base fee. The card itself costs 20 CHF.
How can we offer that, you ask? Well, not being a bank also means we don't have any offices, not many employees and most of all no bonuses. And we're not reinventing the wheel. Instead, we focus on what we do well: an intuitive app and products that make sense. For the rest, we work with selected and respected partners. That way, our costs remain low and our quality high and we pass all of that on to you.
Whether you're tall or short, old or young, have a lot of money or are always skint, whether you prefer tea or coffee, are a cat or dog person - we couldn't care less. All you need is to be over 15, a Swiss domicile, be a resident for tax purposes exclusively in Switzerland and a valid identity document from one of these countries (in combination with a B/C foreigner's permit).
Your money is as safe as with any other account. Your account is managed by Hypothekarbank Lenzburg and subject to Swiss law, regulated by the FINMA and has deposit insurance (up to 100'000 CHF) - just like any other bank account. Additionally, we've added safety measures to protect your money. We use proven and tested two-factor authentication. As a result, you can only make payments from your own phone. But ask not what neon can do to protect your money but what you can do - choose your codes wisely. And put a passcode on your phone.
