This statistic was compiled by ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ. The selection of banks includes the most valuable challenger banks worldwide, as well as other important players in the digital banking sector. Figures were collected from press releases, annual reports, and quarterly performance reports. As of compilation, the most recent available information was used as of July 2026, acknowledging that reporting dates vary across different banks, with some data points being more current than others.
Note on user metrics: Digital banks report customer numbers using varying methodologies. Some banks count total registrations, which include all accounts ever created, while others report monthly active users (MAU) or customers with verified accounts. These differences can significantly impact reported user numbers, making direct comparisons between banks challenging.
