Owners Bank Announces Ecosystem of Strategic Fintech Partners Fueling “No BS” Banking for Small Businesses

Brings together five best-in-class expert providers that simplify the banking experience for small business owners and sole proprietors

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut, May 2, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Owners Bank, a new digital bank created to meet the unique needs of small business owners, announced its technology stack with partners working together to make banking as seamless as possible for small businesses. Each of these partners specializes in individual areas of Fintech – from customer service to bill payments and invoicing – and all fit together to bring first-class service to every aspect of the banking experience.

Small business owners have historically struggled to find the right banking options because large banks are inherently designed to support large businesses. Owners Bank does things differently by addressing this group’s specific needs for a banking partner that offers the most efficient digital tools that allow them to manage their finances in an agile way, while giving them time to focus on other business priorities. This ecosystem of partners enables the bank’s innovation and ability to provide the best possible customer experience.

“When we set out to launch Owners Bank, we knew we needed a collection of partners who were experts in their respective categories versus one or two Fintechs who claim to do it all – and we’ve done just that with this suite of powerhouse providers ,” said David Mitchell, founder and CEO of Owners Bank, a division of Liberty Bank. “As we continue to evolve and innovate, we look forward to further strengthening this group with additional partners and tools that provide small business owners with the absolute best options for managing cash flow and saving time and energy. This is the beginning of a journey that is just Started.”
