In Nigeria, there are dozens of neobanks. Some of them include Kuda, Opay, World Remit, VBank, TransferGo, etc. Neobank is described as a direct bank that operates exclusively online without traditional physical branch networks. The term “challenger bank” is also used to identify this type of bank as well to several fintech banking startups that emerged in the wake of the 2007–2009 financial crisis. Experts have advised that neobanks should find their niche to improve their profitability. In this article, I discuss extensively the series of niches neobanks and digital banks as well as FinTechs can identify to improve their profitability.

Banking For Migrants/Immigrants
Concluding Remarks
The digital banking industry is very vast with so many fields that need attendance, especially in meeting the specific needs of specific communities. Therefore, founders must spot these communities and pitch their tents and offer real value rather than just running a business that serves everybody in bits.
