American fintech company Meed, in collaboration with Valley National Bank of Tulsa, Oklahoma (VNB), is set to introduce disruptive mobile banking programme in the US.

Meed, which went live in Asia in 2016, is planning its launch in the US in December followed by a nationwide rollout in the first quarter of 2019.
The overall Meed banking programme aims to transform the banking services for the digital customers by upgrading marketing, delivery and consumption of financial services.
Meed CEO Les Riedl said: “The vast majority of banks worldwide have all handled the mobile era in exactly the same way, and we think it’s a flawed approach.
“Simply shrinking down traditional bank accounts and putting them on a smartphone screen doesn’t offer real innovation, nor is it customer-centric.
