Sydney, Australia – AMP, an Australian financial services company, has introduced its latest banking venture, offering small business owners and customers access to a new mobile-first banking experience with advanced banking and security solutions.
As per the bank, the initiative is designed to empower Australia’s small business owners, such as micro businesses, solopreneurs, and side hustlers. It further ensures customers benefit from an advanced, flexible banking experience that integrates smoothly with business banking functions.
When it comes to features, it also provides a suite of tools and smart technology aimed at making banking more seamless and secure, including advanced fraud and identity theft protection.
This encompasses the most recent fraud and identity theft protection like Australia’s numberless debit cards for small businesses and selfie-style video identity verification conducted by two customer service reps for enhanced security.
For added privacy, customers can further hide or display their on-screen account balance with a single tap. Additionally, a dedicated 24/7 human support team is available through phone and live chat to assist with any enquiries.
Interestingly, the bank also has the capability to offer seamless connectivity between personal and business banking, featuring the UK banking innovation ‘Spaces.’ Spaces supports virtual sub-accounts to streamline tax payments, payroll, and financial management.
