Entrepreneurs will be offered the ability to open a fully digital business bank account through the Mbank online Corporate Platform in 6 simple steps, in less than 48 hours, with zero minimum balance, and zero monthly fees.

This dual partnership aims to establish grounds for cooperation to enable business owners and support them in accessing a wide range of value-added banking facilities by providing them with advanced, customized, secure and accessible digital banking solutions.

Under this agreement, Mbank will provide a diverse range of financial products designed for all business types, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Offerings will encompass online and mobile banking, savings and checking accounts, the Wages Protection System (WPS), overdrafts, loans, and trade finance.

To further enhance the experience for business owners, Mbank introduces its Digital Connect service, which allows clients to connect with customer service agents via secure live video calls. This innovative approach eliminates the need for paperwork and physical branch visits, providing efficient support tailored to the needs of modern businesses.
