26/03/2025Interview

More than just a simple neobank, MoneyLion is a top financial marketplace and ecosystem in the United States with more than 20 million customers. Boris Plantier from Qorus talked to Dee Choubey, Co-Founder and CEO of MoneyLion, to learn more about them and their future plans.


The demographics of neobank users are often surprising; it is not only young people who are signing up, but also older age brackets. What is the standard profile of your target customer? What has been key to your customer acquisition success?

With over 20 million users, MoneyLion’s core audience represents Americans across all demographics, offering a broad reflection of the U.S. population. What sets MoneyLion apart is that it’s more than just a neobank – our marketplace-first approach and expansive distribution network allow us to reach consumers of all ages and financial backgrounds.

At the heart of our customer acquisition success is personalization – ensuring the right consumer connects with the right product at the right time. Through our marketplace, users can seamlessly access a diverse range of financial solutions, whether from MoneyLion’s own offerings or one of our 1,300+ third-party providers. This tailored approach empowers consumers to make informed financial decisions that suit their unique needs.

MoneyLion goes beyond the traditional neobank model by creating a fully integrated digital financial ecosystem. By combining highly personalized solutions with engaging content, we’re redefining how financial products are discovered, accessed, and managed – delivering value to both consumers and financial institutions alike.
