Our take
While personal banking transactions are very swift, with apps like Venmo and CashApp enabling the instant moving of money between users, for business users, these processes are frustratingly not as fast. For smaller businesses, the costs of ensuring banking processes are well managed can be prohibitive, and keeping track of finances often utilises a wide range of apps.
Novo has created one app with a drag-and-drop interface to manage several financial apps in one place helping gain a clearer picture of transactional data more quickly. There is strong competition in this area from the likes of Lili, NorthOne, Brex and numerous other Neobanks.
Novo has racked nearly 200,000 SMB customers and has seen over $12B in lifetime transactions, a figure that has recently saw exponential growth. Future plans, following series B funding, include scaling its app partnerships whilst consolidating its market position.
