Bunq plots return to UK after leaving post-Brexit

Bunq, which is the second largest online bank in the EU with more than nine million customers and €4.5 billion in deposits, stopped offering new accounts in the UK at the end of 2020, citing Brexit-related red tape difficulties, while its German rival N26 closed all UK accounts and withdrew entirely.

CEO Ali Niknam told the Standard: "Being both a hotspot for digital nomads and home to many Brits pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle, the UK is a key market for us.
