These neobanks offer customers a free credit card, which has 0% interest for the first 45 days.
Another of its features is to transfer money by simply shaking the mobile phone. The feature allows a user to send money to someone whilst on the Fibo app and shaking both of the phones, there is no need for account details or phone numbers.
Fintech Farm previously raised $7.4m in a seed funding round, which was co-led by Flyer One Ventures and Solid.
