How to get the most out of partnerships in serving SMBs ft. Citizens' Mark Valentino

SMBs need more from their FIs, and data echoes this demand. 62% of SMB owners have reported feeling like their business banking options don't go any further than the services already available in their personal accounts. So banks have to find a way to not only differentiate their business banking products from fintech and platform competitors but their own personal banking products as well. One bank that is leading the way is Citizens, which has a three-pronged strategy for SMBs, according to its President & Head of Business Banking, Mark Valentino. Valentino talks about how Citizens is getting closer to the needs and wants of SMB owners by focusing on gathering feedback through surveys and its bankers.
