Credit Depth Expansion Is Repricing Neobank Revenue Architecture
Neobanks serving Korean retail and SME segments have moved beyond deposit acquisition into multi-product credit portfolios, and this shift has made revenue per active user — rather than account volume — the operative performance metric. The Financial Services Commission's Open Banking framework, which mandated interoperable transaction data access across licensed financial institutions, enabled neobank platforms to construct credit-scoring models using real-time cash flow data, allowing them to extend installment loans, revolving credit lines, and embedded buy-now-pay-later facilities to segments previously excluded from bank credit. At least in part because regulatory data portability lowered the marginal cost of underwriting, net interest margin contribution from credit products has become a structurally significant revenue layer displacing interchange and subscription income as the primary monetization mechanism. The more consequential outcome is that neobanks are now repricing their entire product architecture around credit yield, fee compression on payments having made transaction-led models insufficient to sustain unit economics at scale.
