DBS, Xero simplifies SMEs loan application with data-sharing partnership

Xero customers now has the option of sharing their transaction records to DBS.

DBS has deepened its partnership with Xero to simplify the loan application process by giving Xero customers in Singapore and Hong Kong the option of sharing their transaction records from the digital platform to DBS.

This will reportedly allow the bank to offer small and medium enterprises (SMEs) more hyper-personalized credit terms and working capital limits tailored to their needs.

The deepened partnership between the companies–which began in 2017–follows after the DBS SME Pulse Check Survey found that over 85% of SMEs indicate ensuring consistent cash flow and managing costs as a key business priority in 2022.

DBS and Xero began their partnership in 2017 with a bank feed integration to give SMEs greater visibility and control over their finances with automatic bank updates.

Xero is also a key partner of the bank’s DBS Start Digital Package, which is designed to help SMEs kickstart their digital transformation journey.

To date, close to 400 SMEs in Singapore have tapped on Xero’s all-in-one solution to digitalise their accounting function through the DBS Start Digital Package, according to the bank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
