How they describe their product/innovation: Strands BFM (Business Financial Management) is a white-label digital banking solution that enables banks to adopt a role as SME business partner and become their clients’ choice of ‘Everyday Bank’. One point of entry, a 360º financial picture, more efficient money management, and an engaging, meaningful conversation between client and bank. By applying Machine Learning technology, and thanks to Strands’ API Hub technology, banks are in a better position to understand SMEs’ preferences and behaviour patterns and as such, pre-empt their needs and make relevant recommendations, improving their business performance. An in-depth understanding of the end-user also helps accelerate the process into Open Banking.
