In some cases, banks have simply left a gap in servicing the small business segment because of other priorities. These gaps have opened the door to non-bank financial technology solutions to fill the growing needs of this market.

This type of technology partnership – between companies like Kabbage and Paychex, third-parties like Yodlee Interactive, and the traditional financial institution (FI) community – is enabling the proliferation of financial technology innovation for small businesses in a range of areas from lending to budgeting, payroll, invoicing, on-site sales, inventory management, expense management, and more.

Join Yodlee Interactive for an engaging discussion regarding the growth of the small business “App”ortunity and how to best succeed in this brave new space. Hear from leading technology experts from Aite Group, Kabbage, Paychex and Yodlee Interactive.

What you’ll learn:

• What’s happening in the small business fintech sector and what’s fueling its transformation
• The convergence of small business technology
• The dramatic growth of small business financial applications and the future of small business
• The impact of Big Data and key insights gleaned from it
