Our take

While personal banking transactions are now very swift, these processes are frustratingly not as fast for business users. 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. This is a developing market, providing both opportunity and competition from the likes of Lili, NorthOne, Brex and numerous other Neobanks.

Novo has racked up an impressive roster of SMB customers, and has seen billions of dollars in lifetime transactions. It is also well-funded, affording it the position to scale up its app partnerships whilst consolidating its market position.
