As a regulated bank, Fidor is a regulated bank and can operate its banking license in all EU-member countries.
In order to create fully compliant alliances in other regions, the lender will have to depend on entrepreneurial and consumer-centric banking partners with stellar regulatory records.
Fidor aims to develop into the EU region (including UK), US and BRIC countries in the coming few years, implementing its Better Banking for Anybody and Web 2.0 Banking model.
