FinTechs Bank On Reimagining Business Banking
0Source: PYMNTS
Business banking is being reimagined by FinTechs, in an interconnected way – one that, conceptually, creates a one-stop shop for enterprises to accept payments, interact with supply chains and tap working capital in order to finance growth.
Nowhere might that be more readily apparent than Square’s announcement that it has launched Square Banking, geared toward small businesses, combining a range of accounts and payment modalities in an effort to help those firms manage cash flow.
In terms of mechanics, the offering links checking accounts, savings accounts, cards and lending options.
It’s a move away from the payments processing core service that had marked its initial incarnation.
Connecting the checking account to the payments functionality would mean that funds gleaned from sales would instantly be spendable from the checking functions to, for example, pay workers through the Payroll function.
