Neobanks like Brex, Mercury, NorthOne, they've really benefited a lot from this. And I do think it is very interesting though because those neobanks, they don't actually have banking trotters themselves, so they're backed by usually smaller banks that provide the banking services for them.

On today’s podcast, we are talking about digital account-opening trends, who’s opening bank accounts digitally, and what they want or expect when going through that process. Here’s a look at what we’re talking about this week:
• In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss how in-flight deposits and Gen Z will drive account openings in 2023 and to what extent new account openings are the result of high deposit rates and an incentive-laden environment.
• In “Story by Numbers,” we examine how being able to set up direct deposit when consumers open checking accounts is extremely important and the importance of deposits being protected.
• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we suppose there’s a new US banking regulation requiring all banking products to be applied for and opened online. We debate (nicely) how the industry dynamics would change if everything in banking were digitized and moved online.
Tune in to the conversation with host Rob Rubin, managing principal of financial services consulting at EPAM Systems Alex Jimenez, and our analyst Tiffani Montez.

We own about 50,000 in the US and we touch about another 250,000 in the us. So we touch about 300,000 ish. So if you break that 500,000 up, about 125 are in bank locations, and the rest are in retail locations. So it's still a very sort of vibrant retail-based ATM economy out there.
