About Fidor Bank

In 2009, in the midst of the financial and banking crisis, Fidor Bank AG received its full banking license. The original founding idea was to transfer the Web 2.0 behavior that is
increasingly emerging on the Internet to the area of ​​financial services. The financial crisis gave the founding idea an unwanted but welcome sharpness and explosiveness. 
Transparency, integration, openness and much more were no longer "just" an accessory to a new approach, but an imperative.

The Internet as a new transaction medium

Even if the world of finance remains in a state of shock due to the crisis, life - especially on the Internet - goes on. 
An information medium became a transaction medium. We call the people who are now growing up "digital natives" because they do not know a life without the Internet. 
This is accompanied by the development of the so-called "digital lifestyle". This digital lifestyle is breaking old traditions and changing entire industries and nations. As Fidor Bank, 
we respect this development and also see the need for change in the area of ​​financial services.
