The rise of neobanks has been fascinating to witness, as a number of companies in recent years have grown from merely challenging traditional banks to being massive players in and of themselves.
Chime and Dave are just two examples of such neobanks. Hear from Chime product officer Madhu Muthukumar and Dave CEO Jason Wilk at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 as they discuss how their respective companies have overcome challenging macroeconomic conditions to see impressive growth in both customers and revenue. Chime has grown to 7 million active users and is gearing up for an IPO, and Dave is profitable, with 10 million members, posting record revenue of $73.7 million in the first quarter.
The pair will join us on the Fintech Stage to discuss the highs and lows of building and growing a neobank in an increasingly crowded market, how they compete with traditional banks and their thoughts on the future of digital banking.
