But that is kind of the point. These startups scale from the get-go. They will want to reach outside of their initial markets soon. It is not just feature set, but forward scaling vision with that feature set.

Most multi-national banks have a hard time with 'world-wide' scale and prefer to cordon off geo-markets behind local corps, going so far as to have separate C-level management. Imagine how hard it is to get financial level integration?

In this day and age those layers, that lack of true inner-corp transparency, and integration is what will kill these 'traditional' enterprises.

It took forever to get Square or Stripe outside of the U.S., and they don't even store your money for long. I think you far underestimate difficulty of "scaling" banks across jurisdictional borders.
