Build an app like Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Slovenia, under your own brand

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is the Slovenian arm of Italy's Intesa Sanpaolo group, formerly known as Banka Koper, and offers personal and business banking in Slovenia. It started as somebody's idea, like every money app. Here's what you can learn from it, and how to launch your own digital account app with a branded card under your own name, with your own fees.

What Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Slovenia got right

Slovenia is a small, well-banked country where people expect good mobile banking. A focused app for a group the big banks serve poorly, such as freelancers or small exporters, can stand out.

Where a new brand can win

You won't out-spend Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Slovenia. You win on focus: one community, one language, one type of customer or one corridor that a big app treats as an afterthought. Build the app those people would have designed for themselves, and they'll bring the next users with them.

What you can launch under your own brand

A digital account app with a branded card is one of the templates, alongside payment links for invoices, a marketplace that pays its sellers and a membership platform. Each one carries your name, your colours and your domain, and the fee on every payment is yours to set.

How it works, in a few clicks

Pick the template closest to your idea, type your platform name and preview every page before you pay.

  1. Pick a template.
  2. Name it and choose your colours. The site changes as you type.
  3. Preview the finished platform, page by page.
  4. Verify with a selfie and pay your invoice.
  5. Go live on your own domain within 24 hours and invite your first users.

Permissions: the honest part

The accounts, cards and payments behind your platform are powered by licensed partners. Depending on what your platform does and who it serves, you may also need your own registration in Slovenia. We tell you in writing which permissions apply to your platform before you pay, and introduce specialists who handle them. We are not licensed advisers and don't guarantee outcomes.
