DBS, Xero simplifies SMEs loan application with data-sharing partnership

Xero customers now has the option of sharing their transaction records to DBS.

DBS has deepened its partnership with Xero to simplify the loan application process by giving Xero customers in Singapore and Hong Kong the option of sharing their transaction records from the digital platform to DBS.

This will reportedly allow the bank to offer small and medium enterprises (SMEs) more hyper-personalized credit terms and working capital limits tailored to their needs.

The deepened partnership between the companies–which began in 2017–follows after the DBS SME Pulse Check Survey found that over 85% of SMEs indicate ensuring consistent cash flow and managing costs as a key business priority in 2022.

DBS and Xero began their partnership in 2017 with a bank feed integration to give SMEs greater visibility and control over their finances with automatic bank updates.

Xero is also a key partner of the bank’s DBS Start Digital Package, which is designed to help SMEs kickstart their digital transformation journey.

To date, close to 400 SMEs in Singapore have tapped on Xero’s all-in-one solution to digitalise their accounting function through the DBS Start Digital Package, according to the bank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
