400;\">\u201cWhile most U.S. banks focus digital solutions on retail consumers or large commercial enterprises, many SMEs lack a platform tailored to how owners and growing teams manage their everyday banking,\u201d the lender said in a Monday (April 27)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/bmo-expands-digital-banking-platform-for-small-and-midsized-us-businesses-302753951.html\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BMO says its offering addresses these needs with things like commonly used payment options and simplified user management, and clearer cash-flow visibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSmall and midsized businesses\u00a0have long been underserved by traditional commercial banking solutions,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ca.linkedin.com\/in\/derekvernon\">Derek Vernon<\/a>, head of North American treasury and payment solutions at BMO, said in the news release.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis new streamlined, intuitive experience that helps business owners quickly see their cash flow, complete everyday payments and keep their day-to-day workflow moving as their businesses grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch follows a release of the platform in Canada in 2024 and a more limited U.S. release, BMO added.<\/p><div id=\"pymnt-4015250164\" class=\"pymnt-content pymnt-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top:

Intelligence shows that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/tracker\/faster-payments-imperative-small-business-cash-flow\/\">39% of small and medium-sized businesses<\/a>\u00a0(SMBs) function with less than a month\u2019s operating cash at the ready, which makes them highly vulnerable to even slight interruptions to their payment cycles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen receivables are delayed, a \u2018failure cascade\u2019 begins: a single late payment can force an owner to postpone payroll, incur late fees from vendors, or turn to high-interest emergency borrowing,\u201d PYMNTS wrote earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo break this negative feedback loop, SMBs are increasingly leveraging\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/topic\/real-time-payments\/\">real-time payments<\/a>\u00a0to transform their accounts receivable from a back-office burden into a strategic tool for immediate decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effect of payment delays is rarely confined to one line on a business&#8217; ledger, the report added. Inefficient or inconsistent cash flow was mentioned by 43% of SMBs as the chief obstacle to qualifying for financing, as lenders can see irregular inflows as an indicator for heightened risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lack of liquidity can lead to a domino effect: 63% of business owners report missing expansion opportunities because of late payments, and 51% point to high operating costs as a compounding strain when funds are delayed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/news\/faster-payments\/2026\/for-small-businesses-slow-money-is-expensive-money\/\">cumulative financial toll<\/a>\u00a0can be significant,\u201d the report added. \u201cSMBs estimate an average annual loss of $39,406 directly tied to delayed payments, with one in 10 reporting losses exceeding $100,000. Beyond the raw numbers, these delays severely erode SMBs\u2019 reputations: 26% of SMB CEOs admit that slow payments have led to the termination of relationships with buyers or suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>\r\n\twindow.pymntsAllowedArticleCount = 2;\r\n\twindow.pymntsPostID = 3685088;\r\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMO\u00a0has debuted a platform for small and midsized enterprises (SMEs) and emerging middle market (EMM) customers.
