Fidor Bank was a German online bank,[1] founded in 2009. It ceased operations in July 2023.[2]
In 2015, it started a market foray into the UK.[3][4][5][6] In July 2016, it was announced that Fidor Bank was being acquired by France's Groupe BPCE for €100m.[7] As of September 2016, Fidor Bank continued to operate under its own branding.[8]
On 1 July 2019 Fidor Bank announced that it would suspend its services in the UK on 15 September 2019 owing to uncertainties about the UK market.[9]
