ZenBanx is a fascinating new mobile banking service that is likely to fit very well with the nomadic lifestyle common with plenty of millennial consumers. Having just launched in early 2015, the innovative Canadian bank is a project of Arkadi Kuhlmann, the founder of ING Direct.
Described by Kuhlmann as a service aiming to "let money travel as freely as humans," ZenBanx is a venture powered by a partnership with Duca Financial Services Credit Union Ltd. The mobile “regulated bank account with a multi-currency capability” is particularly relevant to students and millennials generally who are statistically more likely to be backpacking through a distant country than avoiding travel for the sake of amassing a designer wardrobe.
