The global fintech startup ecosystem is transforming the traditional financial sector, proving that with efficient technology infrastructure and reduced costs, a large customer base can be captured. This is the case of Rebellion Pay, a free mobile app offering banking services designed for the “like generation.”
Founded in 2017 by Spanish programmers Alejandro Sagrado and Sergio Cerro, Rebellion identified the need to facilitate banking access for people not yet incorporated into the system, providing a simple, digital, and no-strings-attached experience. According to Sergio Cerro, their philosophy is to give users total freedom to manage their money as they wish.
With over 150,000 users, Rebellion optimistically notes that their clientele is aging, indicating it is also attracting more experienced banking users with other market options.
After achieving milestones such as obtaining an electronic money license, integrations with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and raising over €10 million in venture capital, Rebellion takes a step forward by signing an agreement with Mambu, the German multinational leader in cloud financial technology.
Thus, Rebellion becomes the first Spanish fintech to partner with Mambu, which already works with major firms like N26 and Oaknorth. This alliance marks Rebellion’s first move into the European market, aiming to expand its customer base and diversify its product offering.
“We were born with a clear international vocation and have always wanted to seize the opportunities Europe offers, both in partnerships and access to a broad potential user market,” says Cerro.
