A Dutch start-up has a banking licence: Bunq. According to their blog they use Object-Oriented PHP as language of choice, which get me more worried than excited. Nevertheless, quite cool that a startup is going to challenge the Dutch banking world. I am looking forward to what they accomplish.
That’s a scary thought indeed. Then again, bad software can be produced in any language if you try hard enough 😉
As Dutch banks go, Knab (by Aegon) is trying to be a little different, but I agree that there is a lot to improve still.
