antibank
Opposed to institutions
Antibank describes opposition to banks or the banking system, whether as an adjective characterizing a stance or movement antibank sentiment has grown since the financial crisis or as a noun for an institution that positions itself as an alternative to traditional banking.
The term gained currency with the rise of credit unions, fintech startups, and cryptocurrency platforms that market themselves as friendlier or more transparent alternatives to conventional banks.
