Financing Small Business Success: The Rise of Online LendingIntuit Inc.
As part of its ongoing efforts to solve persistent pain points for small business, Intuit released a new research report, “Financing Small Business Success” which shows how online lenders are reshaping the small business financing market.
The research was conducted by Ebiquity and based on 500 interviews held July 20-27. Research was completed online among owners and managers of U.S. small businesses that have attempted, either successfully or unsuccessfully, to secure funding for their company through business financing channels.
The forecast was prepared by Emergent Research, based on existing assessments of the small business credit market outlined in the Harvard Business School paper, “The State of Small Business Lending: Credit Access During the Recovery and How Technology May Change the Game.” The forecast assumes moderate U.S. economic growth averaging 2-3 percent over the forecast timeframe.

Digital transformation in financial services: a roundtable May 2014NixonMcInnes
The financial services industry in the UK has a long and illustrious history, its practices and business imperatives developed over hundreds of years. It’s little surprise, then, that at our recent roundtable we heard from decision-makers from across the industry that the sector is stuck in a quagmire of legacy systems that hinder change.
Then there’s the volume of demands on the sector to meet expanding regulatory requirements. Some banks live simply to stay out of jail, we heard. And that effort is exhausting them. So banks are focusing on keeping the ship afloat rather than creating amazing new touch points for customers.
Just think what could be done to improve the customer experience with just a fraction of the budget spent on stopping out-of-date systems falling over, pondered one delegate. And it’s an interesting question when you look at the amount of innovation going on in fintech start ups. The opportunities are there for the picking, but not the cash or focus it seems.
The perspective of Fintech executives.

At the core of the theory are two opposing forces affecting organizations, embedded in the market trends I shared with the CEOs and in their inherent response (1) the external market force of social technologies disrupting industries and the structure of the workforce, and (2) the internal force of organizations reacting with tactical, technology solutions vs. responding with strategic, human solutions.

Automation of Loan Origination using Process and Decision ServicesDenis Gagné
The financial services industry has long sought a truly digital mortgage. Far too much of the industry still relies on manual, paper-based processing for tasks like loan origination. These deficiencies were highlighted during the pandemic when that reliance on manual processes created problems on top of those already experienced: lack of consistency, auditability, accuracy and efficiency. It is not an agile approach!

Alternative Data: Transforming SME FinanceJohn Owens
This presentation summarizes the IFC/World Bank/G20 GPFI report on the landscape of alternative data and players that are expanding access to SME finance. This presentation was prepared jointly with the effort of my co-author Lisa Wilhelm. The complete report can be downloaded at https://www.smefinanceforum.org/post/alternative-data-transforming-sme-finance
The "India Digital SME Credit Report 2023," a collaboration between GetVantage and Redseer Strategy Consultants, reveals that a significant credit deficit of approximately $220 billion is impeding the economic progress of digitized businesses. Despite an infusion of $53 billion in FY22 and an estimated $165 billion being serviceable after accounting for unviable businesses, the current working capital deficit remains at $112 billion. The report predicts that the demand for credit will surpass $570 billion in the next five years as the number of digital SMEs doubles. This deficit hampers innovation, job creation, scaling, and efficiency building among new-economy businesses. The report underscores the crucial role of alternative financing platforms, such as revenue-based financing, in addressing this gap and fostering economic growth.
Industry and firm profile- MBA course papergirish0984
The objective of this document is to study a particular industry and a firm within that industry. This document describes the Financial Services Industry and JP Morgan bank.
The Economist Intelligence Unit, on behalf of Temenos, surveyed 200 global banking executives to investigate the challenges retail banks face in the years to 2020 and how they are responding.
Some key findings:
The regulators will decide: Capital and compliance will shape incumbents and newcomers alike. Domestic regulators warn fintechs not to expect an easy ride.
Into the unknown: American banks worry about regulation the most, despite a promised rollback. European policy direction is more certain, yet onerous. Geopolitics do not help.
Resistance is futile: The EU’s Second Payment Services Directive and open architecture are the game changers. Banks may lose their customers’ loyalty, fintechs could hit compliance barriers. Both must collaborate to survive.
Complacency is not a virtue: Fear of peer-to-peer lenders and robo-advice may have peaked. Non-banks could still steal deposit and lending business—and profit—unless banks improve the customer experience.
No cash, no cheques: If they are smart, banks may still win the war to build truly universal digital networks.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
