In April 2024, the UK-based cashflow management platform multifi partnered with the US-based data network Plaid to support SMEs in the UK. The goal of this partnership was to tackle the issue of lengthy finance applications for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the UK. The integration of multifi into the Plaid network focused on simplifying the financial application process through the use of Open Banking technology.
By examining financial transactions from a range of banks such as Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Santander, Natwest, and Monzo, multifi aimed to speed up the assessment of SMBs financial well-being. This approach was intended to minimise the time and energy needed to apply for financial support, ensuring fast, secure, and smooth data exchange.
