HOW open banking CAN help BUSINESSES

Open banking is a secure and simple way to help the UK’s small businesses manage their finances more effectively – and become more resilient, productive and profitable.

It does this in two ways.

First, by giving businesses access to up-to-date financial data at any time to enable them to understand and manage their money more effectively – including forecasting, applying for credit, or speeding up payments.

Second, by offering an alternative way to make and receive account-to-account (A2A) payments – to other businesses or to customers – that can be more cost-effective than card payments.

How does it work? 

Your bank account holds a lot of information about your business – cash flow, credit costs, invoicing, payroll – and much more.

By allowing you to securely share that information with regulated companies – such as banks and fintech firms – you can find more cost-effective products and services, and apps to help you understand your business finances better.
