neobankbeat — open directory of neobanks worldwide

A verified, machine-readable directory of 368 active neobanks — traditional (licensed fiat), hybrid (fiat + custodial crypto), and web3-native (self-custodial) — curated from primary sources and updated in the open.

Files

File What it is
entities.jsonl One neobank per line — this is what the dataset viewer and load_dataset read. Nested fields (fx_markup, reported_users, volume, investors) keep their source and as-of detail.
entities.csv The same rows flattened to 38 plain columns, with the nested fields split out (fx_markup, fx_markup_as_of, fx_markup_source, …). Easiest for spreadsheets and pandas.
data.json The canonical file as served by the site: { meta, entities }, with counts, field notes and methodology in meta.

What's in it

Each row is one neobank (an object under entities in data.json). Fields include:

Field Meaning
name, hq, founded, domain, website identity
category traditional · hybrid · web3-native
custody who holds the money (custodial / self-custodial / MPC / mixed)
regulation_type licensed bank · partner-bank (BaaS) · e-money · payment institution · VASP/MSB · self-custodial software · …
licence plain-text licence / sponsor-bank detail
card_network, card_type, cashback, yield card & rewards
stablecoins, services stablecoin support; money-movement capabilities (on/off-ramp, IBAN, virtual/crypto cards, multi-currency)
fx_markup foreign-exchange markup on the free/standard plan, with source + as-of date
kyc, audience KYC posture; audience/niche
active_regions, countries geography
reported_users, funding, investors scale & backing (where disclosed)
ai verified in-production AI use: underwriting · interface · agentic

Top-level meta carries counts, field notes and the verification methodology.

Methodology

Defunct neobanks and pure BaaS/infrastructure providers are excluded from the count. Unverified fields are null rather than guessed. Rates (cashback, yield, FX) are "up to" figures that change often — always confirm with the issuer.

Citation

neobankbeat (2026). Open directory of neobanks worldwide. https://www.neobankbeat.com/ (MIT).

Load it

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("neobankbeat/neobanks", split="train")
print(ds)
print(ds.filter(lambda e: e["regulation_type"] == "Partner-bank model").num_rows, "run on a sponsor bank")

Or straight from the site, no dependencies — this gives you meta too:

import json, urllib.request
data = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.neobankbeat.com/data.json"))
print(data["meta"]["total"], "neobanks")
for e in data["entities"][:5]:
    print(e["name"], "·", e["category"], "·", e["regulation_type"])
