What I hear from people in the traditional banking sector, they actually don't mind the newer fintech companies such as Revolut, N26 and so on because they'll mainly attract the kind of customers that the traditional banks would rather not have. If you don't have a mortgage, loans, credit cards, stock or so on, then you're not really worth the hassle of having you as a customer. The fintech startups offer none of those things.

No surprises that shortsightedness pervades the traditional banking sector. These services appeal to people who like to travel, i.e. people who are relatively more well off. Then they hope to upsell other financial products to them.
