Most local business owners are experts at their craft, but they aren’t always experts at the technical side of getting paid.
Jack Henry’s Financial Sentiment Study: SMB Report shows that these owners are stretched thin and looking for ways to simplify their daily operations. While they look to you as a primary resource, they often turn to third-party apps just to handle a simple transaction.
That gap is your biggest opportunity to reclaim the relationship.
How Small Business Banking Solutions Close the SMB Support Gap
Your business accountholders aren't necessarily looking for more complex features – they want to meet their community where they are.
They want every transaction to feel as simple and personal as a handshake, but they’re often bogged down by extra hardware, long settlement wait times, and disconnected apps. The data is clear: small businesses crave simplicity and agility, but they don't always have the tools to create it.
They want a payments setup that just works – not another piece of equipment to manage.
Tap2Local™ addresses this unmet need by transforming a smartphone into a secure payments terminal, allowing your accountholders to accept credit cards and digital wallets with just a tap.
Why Financial Institutions Lead in SMB Customer Engagement
No one is better equipped to back a local business than their own financial institution.
You already sit at the center of their operations. When a business uses Tap2Local, they aren't just using an app – they’re leaning on the reliable backing of real people at your financial institution. It strengthens your bond because you’re providing the cash flow agility they need to thrive.
This means you can offer next-day funds and hardware-free payments – things these owners tell us they urgently need.
