1. What and how does it work?
Like other digital banks, Next's main feature is the convenience of mobile account management. The platform is not linked to a physical bank and receives new customers through an app for Android and iPhone (iOS). New users register for the app and create their accounts on time, without the bureaucracy required by traditional institutions.
Next Bank does not have its own branches. However, clients can receive service at Bradesco branches and use bank tellers to withdraw money. Account holders also receive support for withdrawals from Banco24Horas network. Any questions or issues with your account should be resolved by expert support with in-app service.
One of the points in favor of digital banking is the ease of creating an account the procedure performed by the mobile phone. The interested user must install the Next application on the smartphone and inform the requested personal data. You will need to have your ID, driver's license and an updated proof of residence. During registration, you will need to take photos of the documents using the camera.

As with the Bradesco application, users must monitor the status of the digital account to determine if the request for account creation has been approved. Upon confirmation, an international credit and debit card is sent to the registered address and the digital account can be accessed for transfers, payments and withdrawals.
4. What is the difference between Next, Nubank and other digital banks?
Next is a digital banking alternative that comes closest to traditional banks in its rates. Customers have some "basket" options that offer management, withdrawal and transfer actions. In the free plan, called "In the Strip", there are no fees to use and transfers are free between Next and Bradesco accounts.
Other "baskets" have unlimited resources such as transfers to any bank, Bradesco cash withdrawals and Banco24Horas network. Fare collection started after the five-month free period. In addition, clients of these plans receive pampering, travel assistance and receive points in the Livelo rewards program.

5. If the digital account does not charge fees, how does Next Bank make money?
Unlike some digital banks, Next offers "baskets" that cover withdrawal and transfer expenses. Compared to a regular bank, the company has no employee expenses and branch maintenance. The institution also profits from moving accounts and penalties for late payment of credit card bills.
