OUR WAY FROM ENEMY TO SUPPLIER AND PART OF THE „SYSTEM“FIGO IS THE FIRST „REGULATED“ BANKING SERVICE PROVIDER IN EUROPE

Picture by Kuster & Wildhaber Photography, flickr

April 2016/Berlin WIRED Money Conference

2012:figo started as the nicest

consumer banking-app in Germany - in a legal grey area.

The objective was to become the user’s financial home and

replace the bank as a front-end.

5 years later: figo will be the first regulated

Banking Service Provider in Europe and is part of the

system.

???How could that happen?

A genius strategy or did it happen by chance?

!!!A mixture

By chance

_Problems with the big „A“ in 2013_Start of the FinTech boom in 2014 and there was an existing problem in the market

_New regulatory framework with PSD2 in the EU at the end of 2015

_Change in mindset at financial institutions/banks

Strategy

_Good decision regarding the infrastructure in 2012_The pivot: We changed a „P“ against a „I“ (APP -> API)

_New team and cap-table

_Great business angels, seed investors and new additional investors

???And what is figo?

figo is a b2b player
