HYPE is a digital current account and payments app that combines a bank account, a payment card and a smartphone app for everyday spending, travel, bill payments and savings. The offer is addressed to private customers and businesses. The account is sold by Banca Sella S.p.A. through the HYPE app.
HYPE is a brand of Banca Sella S.p.A., an Italian bank with its registered office in Piazza Gaudenzio Sella in Biella. Banca Sella Holding S.p.A. exercises management and coordination over the bank, so the parent is Italian and no foreign owner is involved. The privacy notice names Banca Sella S.p.A. as data controller, states a preference for processing within the EU, and says that transfers outside the EU rely on adequacy decisions or appropriate safeguards. It does not name a hosting location or cloud provider, which should be checked before use.
