Set up within a few minutes, the Penta banking account enables businesses to seamlessly manage expenses and investments via an intuitive user interface. Through integrations with popular accounting tools, Penta offers a complete financial hub for businesses that want to get things done. Challenge Penta set itself the goal of becoming the digital CFO for their customers. To do this, however, Penta needed to offer not only a bank account as a core product for day-to-day banking transactions, but also additional financial services relevant to sole proprietors and companies. Therefore, a modern account infrastructure was crucial for combining both daily banking and banking-related services such as integration with accounting software or collaboration with tax advisors. What may sound straightforward, comes with several hurdles: Penta wanted to launch their product fast and lean. Applying for an own banking license however would entail stemming immense capital requirements and undergoing a lengthy application process. A tech-savvy partner was sought to provide an agile infrastructure that would enable Penta to offer smooth, digital processes , especially with regards to the account opening process. Further, a bank account with a pretty UI but without value-added services would not cut it for Penta. A future-proof solution with room to continuously add completely new features for customers has always been the starting point for choosing a banking partner.
