Intuit, the developer of QuickBooks software launched QuickBooks Cash, a no-fee business bank account. QuickBooks cash determines the overall financial complexities in small businesses and reduces the necessary efforts of the small business owners. QuickBooks with the use of its fintech experience helped its customers to get more than around $1 billion in SBA-funded PPP loans. SBA loans are provided to small businesses impacted by COVID-19 to aid small business finance exploitations.
Rania Succar, Senior Vice-president, QuickBooks Capital, and Payments, Intuit stated “The small businesses face unique daily challenges whether it is about finance management or transactional flows. This grants nothing but increased fees and time consumption. Small business owners need a compact banking platform to manage and plan their finances and to run their business efficiently. QuickBooks cash is the much-needed tool for small businesses as it delivers what the current small business needs- a banking experience that enables small businesses to accept payments, pays teams, and vendors — with automatic reconciliation for easy financial management. The companies that have better capital have better advantages and this is what QuickBooks Cash provides. QuickBooks Cash will help small businesses to manage cash with powerful insights and financial management to accelerate their growth”.

The 2019 Intuit’s QuickBooks Connect conference announced some of the major QuickBooks AI integrations and QuickBooks Cash is one of them. QuickBooks Cash is a no-fee (no account opening fee, no maintenance fee, minimum balances, or overdraft fee) business bank account provided by Green Dot Bank that pays only 1% interest when it is used with QuickBooks software or mobile applications.
