Rebellion is a digital account - a neobank/fintech - that uses mobile options and tech and leverages the power of cryptocurrencies.
Rebellion enables its user to control their money the way they want it without the meddling of banks or overseers. As the company states, “a 100% mobile bank account to pay, send and receive money without fees.” Rebellion aims to maximize your money, with campaigns and cryptocurrencies. In this article, we’ll talk about Rebellion.
In particular, how Rebellion Pay works? What Rebellion is? And if you should sign up for it.
What is Rebellion?
With a total funding amount of $7.6 million, Rebellion is a fairly vogue neobank whose primary office is in Madrid, Spain. It is a neobank aimed at the millennial generation and Gen Zers.
The company, Rebellion, was created to meet the demands of today’s jaded youth. Those individuals that do not identify, nor trust, conventional banks — those that have become a bit weary when it comes to traditional banking solutions and their less than stellar performance rate, not to mention constant governmental meddling.
Rebellion is cemented as one of the most avant-garde Spanish neobank operating in the region, offering banking services that are more in line with streaming services than conventional banks.
The company is mainly funded by the Gala Capital Partner firm and has various Seed rounds under its belt. The Gala Capital firm is a venture capital company that invests heavily in Spanish startups. Today, Rebellion is one of the most used, and top-rated Fintechs in Spain.
Rebellion Features
The main motto of Rebellion is “like no bank” — in other words, it’s your money, you do with it what you like. Today, the company offers free, initiative, easy sign-up models whose main drive is that it is painless, there's no hassle involved, no waiting, and you’re not locked into a contract. The latter means that if you feel you don’t like the product, you can leave any time without having to shell out anything. There are no hidden clauses.
Account
Users get a personal account number (IBAN) that they can use to send, receive and manage their money. Users will need to fund the account via bank transfers.
Mastercard
