Tomorrow Bank
Tomorrow Bank is a Fintech with a real social impact. The Hamburg-based company offers a mobile current account and invests the money on the accounts exclusively in sustainable and social projects. Very cool: In the Tomorrow app, users can directly see how many square metres of rainforest they have already protected by using their account. Another exciting feature is Tomorrow Zero: For 15 euros per month, users can offset their entire CO2 emissions. Tomorrow recently collected three million euros within one day with an innovative crowdfunding among its own users. We are looking forward to further new and exciting features!
DEPOSIT SOLUTIONS
Deposit Solutions is a German Fintech-Unicorn. Founded in Hamburg in 2011, the company has developed an open banking platform that enables banks to offer their customers attractive third-party savings products via their existing accounts. The solution gives savers access to a wider range of deposit products and thus a better customer experience. In September 2020, Deposit Solutions expanded into the US despite the Corona crisis. Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and investor in Deposit Solutions, sees a promising future for the open banking platform: „Deposit Solutions can do for the deposit business what PayPal has done for payments“.

Finanzcheck.de
The independent comparison portal Finanzcheck.de helps its users to find the cheapest instalment loans and private financial products.

Anyone who needs more in-depth advice afterwards can contact professional credit advisors free of charge and seven days a week. The fact that the Hamburg-based company has hit the bull’s eye with its portal became clear at the end of 2019 at the latest, when Finanzcheck.de changed hands for a sum in the billions.
