Greece’s first ECB-licenced neobank has officially gone live

9 septembrie 2025

Today, Snappi goes live as Greece’s first neobank. This milestone is not the end, but the beginning of a bold path ahead. I am truly humbled to have led this journey together with our partners — Piraeus Bank and Natech — whose support has been invaluable at all levels.” – said Gabriella Kindert – CEO of Snappi.

The mobile-only bank offers free account opening through a digital onboarding process. Customers can open an account in minutes, complete a fast KYC check, and begin banking immediately. Each account includes both virtual and physical debit cards, with full functionality for domestic and international use. Core banking features include Iris payments, SEPA transfers, utility bill payments, and cross-border transactions.


Gabriella Kindert, added: „Relevance in banking anno 2025 means more than being digital. It’s about using data to create real value, building trust with transparency, and combining AI-powered services with real human support. With our platform, we are well positioned to deliver exactly that.

We’ve created a platform that’s digital-first but grounded in trust, combining the ease of fintech with the stability of a fully licensed European Union bank. Transparency is central to everything we do: no hidden fees, no small print, just clear, fair banking.

The platform includes financial education resources and money management tips, with 24/7 human customer care and zero reliance on chatbots or outsourced service centers. A “Pay Later” feature, allowing interest-free installment payments for e-commerce purchases, is scheduled to launch soon, says Kindert.
