One platform to empower small businesses
Small businesses hustle. Their banking should, too. But most SME experiences weren’t built for today’s digital-first economy.

Backbase helps banks overcome SME banking’s toughest challenges with a platform that’s fast, secure, and ready to scale.
Friction-free onboarding
Get SMEs up and running in minutes, not weeks with a frictionless digital onboarding experience. Reduce manual processes, eliminate paperwork, and offer a fast, intuitive sign-up that keeps small business owners focused on growing their companies. With Backbase, banks can streamline KYB, automate approvals, and convert more SMEs into long-term customers from day one.
Smarter banking for business customers
SMEs need more than just a place to store money. They need tools that help them manage cash flow, track invoices, and handle payments—seamlessly integrated into their banking experience.
With Backbase, banks can provide value-added services like invoicing, cash flow forecasting, and treasury management, making their banking platform an essential part of an SME’s daily operations.
This means more engagement, stronger SME relationships, and new revenue opportunities, all while helping businesses thrive.
Modernisation without disruption
Transforming SME banking doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. Backbase enables banks to modernise at their own pace with a composable platform that integrates with existing systems. No risky rip-and-replace. No unnecessary downtime. Just a progressive transformation approach that lets banks introduce new SME services while keeping their core banking infrastructure intact.

SME banking has traditionally been overlooked, but there is a significant opportunity to change how small businesses do banking by properly addressing their needs. JuicePro, our new app, has listened to the market and taken our SME services mobile to smoothen all journeys. However, this is just the first step to revolutionising our entire offering. We’re very excited about continuing this journey with Backbase, who have managed to take a complex set of business lines and provide a holistic view so we can maintain the very highest quality of user journeys.
