Fintech Trends and Impacts on SMEs

The only thing that is constant is change!

And in the words of Socrates-” The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the odds but on building the new.”

The SME sector contributes significantly to the economy of India. Despite being a strong contributor to India’s business ecosystem, small businesses hardly get access to technology and capital, work in silos and their potential remains untapped.

Fintech is quickly transforming businesses and technology and greatly impacting SME businesses.

It has changed how SMEs view their finances and made them more open, bridging the gap between their need for services and the availability of those services.

Financial institutions that offer digital services coupled with their financial products provide business owners with a single dashboard that connects with their accounting software and gives them a comprehensive view of all their transactions, cashflows, and invoices management. These integrated service packages also include business insights and details on their eligibility for emerging fintech trends that have had a significant impact on SME Businesses.

SMEs may struggle to make payments on time and will have difficulties running their business if their finances are not in order now with a with a single dashboard view on money flows, reverse reconciliation takes place in the relevant ERPs, minimizing the difficulty in cash flow management for the business owner and accountant.

Real-time Payments

Real-time payments are now quickly integrating into the Fintech environment of the digital age. Using a real-time payment solution is essential for SMEs trying to reduce costs. The pandemic’s impact on the economy has only boosted the real benefit that shifting money delivers immediate gratification.

Hylobiz understood that in order to create change for SMEs, it was necessary to identify the real issue and determine a course of action.

Hylobiz CEO Vishal Gupta’s message to SMEs

Thanks to my fellow SMEs for all the learnings and feedback while building hylobiz. A few things that I have learned are collections against invoices and easier access to credit remain the key actions to keep business capital rolling. As many cycles, they can put this money to use for, bigger the ROI and turnover. Hence, digitalization is one key element followed by certain compliance bars being set by the Govt for e-invoice filing. Thanks to the infrastructure built with GSTN, NPCI, BBPS, and upcoming ONDC & OCEN, SMEs in India will take India to the 5 trillion dream economy.

  • Fintechs are building on banks’ legacy systems to simplify decision lifecycles from underwriting to disbursements 
  • Both are working towards internationalizing SMEs to trade better 
  • Democratizing the cash flow and commerce where FIs will have a better view of the lending ecosystem.
