TORONTO, Dec. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sensibill, a receipt management and item-level data provider, announced today that it will partner with Metro Bank, the first high street bank to open in the UK in over 100 years, to power its mobile receipt management offering. The partnership supports the bank's mission to transform the digital experience for its small business banking clients.
Metro Bank has invited select small business customers to join a free beta trial of its forthcoming receipt management solution within their mobile app, with a public release set to launch to all business customers in early 2020. Small businesses will be able to capture, store and organize their receipts, allowing for easy expense tracking and management. In turn, the solution helps these business owners audit-proof their business and maximize tax deductions.
Beyond offering a valuable tool for Metro Bank's client base to use, Sensibill provides the ability to gather deep insights on customer purchase behaviors through the itemization and categorization of receipt data, providing the opportunity in which to truly personalize communications and products to customers.
"Metro Bank is building a suite of compelling tools that will help transform the small business banking experience in the UK," said Corey Gross, Co-Founder and CEO of Sensibill. "Our partnership with Metro Bank demonstrates our shared focus to deliver customer-centric solutions that improve the financial well-being of banking customers. We're excited to support Metro Bank's commitment to strengthening its relationship with their customers through digital innovation."
Paul Riseborough, Chief Commercial Officer at Metro Bank, says: "Accounting tasks, along with chasing invoices and staying on top of receipts, are major pain points for SMEs. By partnering with Sensibill, we're offering an innovative, digital solution that solves real problems for our customers, saving them time spent on admin and allowing them to focus on running and growing their business. And this is just the first piece in the puzzle as we set about developing a major new digital ecosystem of services to help SMEs."
The partnership is continued proof of the widespread acceptance of digital receipt solutions, the value of item-level data, and Sensibill's position as the preferred provider and market leader in the UK and the broader sector.
