If all goes as per plan, Bento for Business could also enhance its payment and business banking-focused services. Speaking of his company’s offerings and how SMBs can benefit from them, Chief Executive and Founder of Bento, Farhan Ahmad, said, “Time and again, research says that poorly managed business spending the single largest threat to the profits of small and mid-sized businesses in the U.S. We solve this problem by bringing our customers an intelligent financial management solution that stops unauthorized spending before it happens. We’re excited to bring new products to market that continue to set the standard for modern business banking and treasury management.” Meanwhile, CashShield, another startup focused on transactions and financial services, also successfully wrapped up a Series B round that raised $20 million.
