Dubai-based fintech startup Jingle Pay is bringing neobanking to the Middle East, starting with its home turf of the UAE. The neobank has been formulated in response to what digitally-native Gen Z and millennial audiences want from banking – such as responsive services, extremely low transfer fees, transparency and no restrictions such as minimum balance requirements.
