In the current landscape of increasingly challenging funding, unicorns hold a distinct allure. Berlin witnessed the emergence of its first fintech unicorn, N26, a 100% mobile bank operating under a full German banking license. Our FIBE ambassador, Marcus W. Mosen, serves as Chairman of the Supervisory Board at N26.
