This is a significant step in the bank's development and marks a new era in snappi's journey to become part of the new banking landscape in Europe, starting from Ioannina, Greece. As a fully licensed institution, our goal is to serve our clients and society by offering innovative digital products."

"We know that banking is built on trust, and receiving the banking license is an important milestone for us. Our aim is to evolve the client banking experience by providing customer-centric, innovative, and competitive financial products and solutions. We believe in fostering a more inclusive banking environment and strive to serve our clients and stakeholders with integrity and excellence" said Gabriella Kindert, who will be assuming the role of CEO at snappi.

Thanasis Navrozoglou, Vice Chairman of snappi's Board of Directors and President & CEO at Natech, an Ioannina-based fintech firm and the technology partner of snappi, specialized in banking software solutions, commented: "snappi is all about modern people, and this license unlocks a future of banking experiences that will speak to their hearts. Now, we are focused on rolling out snappi's digital strategy, leveraging state-of-the-art offerings and cutting-edge technologies for everyone who wants something better. Kudos to the snappi team and everyone who have been passionately working to create this new digital bank from the ground up".

Strategically located in Ioannina: Promoting decentralization and supporting the local community

snappi's headquarters in Ioannina, strategically positioned outside the Greek capital, reflect the neobank's commitment to decentralization. This choice is intended to support the local community, foster the development of an emerging regional technology ecosystem, and inspire innovation beyond traditional urban centres.

In the following period and ahead of public launch, snappi will focus on enhancing the setup of its banking operations and integration points to deliver a fresh customer digital experience with top-notch standards of quality and reliability.
