Dominic Provençal of MCB said:“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.

According to the two companies, since the launch the feedback from SME customers has been positive with a usage rate of 85% and users signing in on average 14 times a month.

Jouk Pleiter, CEO at Backbase, said: “It’s fantastic to see such an effective partnership emerging between us. Our unique platform has allowed MCB to quickly build and launch their SME banking app in a relative short time frame. But that’s not all, the flexible nature of the platform allows them to drive continuous product innovation to respond to emerging customer needs and pressures from competitors and regulators alike.

“Now, with the go-live of phase 1 being such a success, MCB can now continue to  add and launch new features to their SME customers and at the same time start the roll-out of new digital web and mobile apps  across their other business lines. We look forward to seeing them continue to grow and become a true digital leader. ”
