Jupiter
Indian neobank on Federal Bank rails.
- Who holds it
- A sponsor bank behind the brand — not the app you signed up with — Partner bank (Federal Bank); RBI PPI license via parent Amica Financial Technologies.
- The ledger
- Split between a program manager and the sponsor bank — the modular setup that broke in Synapse.
- If it fails
- Any claim runs through the sponsor bank, and only works if the two ledgers reconcile.
