Europe Neobank Radar

Chapter steward: seat open — earned, not given · 79 European neobanks tracked · radar source file

Europe invented the modern neobank playbook and now regulates it hardest. This radar tracks both sides of that story. A running log of the developments that matter across European digital banking — licenses granted and revoked, rails launched, funding that changes the map — under the same rules as everything else on this site: a source for every claim, null over guesses, and nobody pays to be featured.

The 79 on the radar

The radar

the seat is openThis radar starts with its steward: someone who knows Europe's market better than the fintech press does. The trial — four sourced radar entries and one audit pass of the 79 European rows in the dataset — puts your name and byline on this page. Open an issue and make the case.

The chapter model

A chapter is two jobs in one: this radar, and data stewardship — the chapter holder audits and maintains their region's rows in data.json, and every regional addition or correction gets their eyes before it merges. Entries and fixes arrive by pull request, get reviewed like any other change, and ship with the contributor's byline. The trial to hold a chapter: four sourced radar entries and one full audit pass of the region's data.
