ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

Organizational issues often make it difficult for financial institutions (FIs) to adequately serve their small business customers. Many FIs are still offering consumer solutions that lack the critical functionality small businesses need to manage their finances. With the impact of COVID-19 and the acceleration of digital among consumers and businesses alike, FIs must step up their game—or they risk losing these relationships to institutions that can better serve their needs.

THIS WEBINAR WILL COVER:

Organizational challenges facing FIs when it comes to serving small businesses.
Impacts of COVID-19 on small businesses and what this means for FIs and digital banking.
Customer experience expectations of small businesses.

TOP 3 BENEFITS TO ATTENDEES:

Learn about the solutions small businesses need to effectively manage their financial wellbeing.
Find out why account opening is vital to acquiring new business customers.
Understand how to drive change within your organization.
