New data reveals biggest neobanks
In the pointless neobank battle of 'my dad is bigger than your dad', August figures released today by the prudential regulator reveal Judo Bank is the biggest neobank by some metrics.
It has more than $1.6 billion in residential deposits and more than $2 billion in residential loans on its books, but does have more than $370 million in long-term borrowings on its balance sheet.
Meanwhile, 86 400 has $352 million in residents' deposits on its books, while Xinja has $468 million.
Even with 86 400's $49 million residential loan book, Xinja still holds more residential assets, despite closing off its savings account to new customers in March and having no home loans available.
Xinja did, however, launch a share trading platform in July, and lending could be on the cards soon as the bank is advertising for a 'Personal Loan Lender' position.
Volt Bank was a distant last, with $60 million in residents' deposits on its books, after having its savings account in 'beta' mode for more than nine months.
As for Up! Bank, it shares its banking licence with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, so its statistics are bundled in with that institution.
