Business banking

Traditionally retail consumers have all the bells and whistles, with slick front end interfaces and the newest products. Businesses have had the practical side of the stick, with little to no updates and uninspiring interfaces. Business banking needs have not been understood. In reality they need to make larger, more frequent payments, with everything tracked for their accounts. They need to manage cash flows, even across multiple departments, and in multiple currencies. Clearly easy. Banks have offered improved security at the expense of experience. Tony Stark asks “Is it too much to ask for both?” How have businesses been enabled by banking? What is out there that will tip someone over the edge into entrepreneurship? What would make someone want to do business banking?
