MoneyLion is not just a neobank, it is a financial services marketplace where consumers can access a variety of financial service products, including insurance, investments, credit and bank accounts.
MoneyLion has adopted an Amazon-style approach to make it easy for consumers to discover and “check out” financial services products through its one-stop ecosystem.
To address friction in the financial services process, MoneyLion has created a one-stop ecosystem that offers access to multiple services without the need to start the application process fresh.
MoneyLion has launched a marketplace called MoneyLion Checkout that enables consumers to search, apply for and complete transactions across third party financial products.
The company’s enterprise business grew 17% in Q3 compared to Q2, contributing to a top-line growth of 23% of $135m. MoneyLion has pivoted away from being a direct-to-consumer model, with first party products accounting for more than 90% of MoneyLion’s business.
Partner companies connect to the MoneyLion network directly or via APIs. The company is taking the technology it built for its consumer business and making it available to enterprise partners.
The MoneyLion population largely mirrors the US economy, and there is pent-up consumer demand for its products. The company is investing in its brand and raising awareness among consumers.
In September, MoneyLion and TransUnion partnered to boost personalisation within consumer finance. The two companies are using bank verification data and AI to clean data and create a personal financial management tool.
MoneyLion aims to become a must-have for the mass audience of the US.
