Neobanks Make a Call on eSIM Technology

Neobanks, which have already revolutionized the financial world, are now stepping into telecom by offering eSIM services, creating a seamless blend of financial and connectivity solutions. We’ll analyze how neobanks like Nubank, Revolut, and bunq are evolving into all-in-one platforms that go beyond banking to offer a fully integrated digital experience. 

The truth is, telecom companies have been playing a hidden role in our financial lives for years. Think about it: topping up your phone was a micro-transaction. Sending money to a friend with low credit? A mobile money transfer, courtesy of your telco. But here’s the twist: this convergence isn’t a one-way street.
