Our take
Over 99% of businesses in the UK are small or medium-sized enterprises, representing a significant contribution to the economy. However, securing funding to kickstart a small business can be exhausting, with even modest loans from high street banks require a strong credit footprint, which is impossible to build without obtaining said loans. Cashplus Bank exists to supply loans to SMEs, as well as to provide a toolkit to simplify management of their finances.
Cashplus Bank, the leading fintech bank for UK small businesses, supplies a range of services from accounts and payments to credit builders and credit cards. The company has operated since 2005, continuously delivering innovations for small business finance, and became a bank in 2021. It is unique in its focus on SMEs and their specific needs to reduce time-spent on financial tasks, which currently dominate the operating time of small businesses.
Cashplus Bank has a strong profit record and has served millions of customers. The company continues to partner with fintech companies, releasing business credit cards in late 2022 and e-Cards in partnership with Mastercard in early 2023. It is continuing its strong trajectory and delivering much-needed products tailored to SMEs.
