The funding line operates under the British Business Bank ENABLE Guarantee programme, which aims to foster more lending to small businesses. This move includes ThinCats&#8217;s collaboration with Citi, and as such becomes the programme\u2019s first transaction to promote lending for term loans to smaller businesses from an alternative lender with a bank as a senior funder. The funding capital that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thincats.com\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ThinCats<\/a> sets out to deploy will most likely aid SMEs to make use of growth opportunities and

href=\"https:\/\/tink.com\/blog\/open-banking\/embracing-a-decade-long-revolution\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">has released a new report<\/a> examining European financial executives\u2019 attitudes toward open banking. The 2021 survey reveals a shift towards a more welcoming sentiment, with 71% of bankers feeling positive towards open banking, up from 55% in 2019. Financial executives also mostly agree that open banking is a revolution for the industry (83%) rather than an evolution. They acknowledge it can play a crucial role in meeting key goals such as enhancing the customer experience (36%), launching new digital services (35%) and increasing revenue (34%). The positive outlook will prove useful as many bankers believe seeing this revolution through might take a long time. 40% of executives predict it will take five to ten years for their companies to meet their open banking objectives. 37% of bankers prepare for an even longer journey that can last over a decade, hinting at large-scale transformation initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read more about <a

attitudes towards embedded finance<\/a>. The report revealed that 73% of surveyed companies from the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany plan to launch embedded finance products within the next two years while 92% plan to launch such offerings within the next 5 years. And yet, a staggering 91% of respondents confessed to understanding embedded finance only partially. The study also found that the interest in embedded finance is mainly motivated by the desire to retain front-end customer experience (85%) and increase the number of customer touchpoints with their brand (84%). As for what type of services companies want to offer in the next five years, embedded banking proved to be the most popular choice (92%).<\/p>\n<p><b>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/what-is-embedded-finance\/\">embedded finance<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <svg class=\"wave\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"280\" height=\"9\" viewBox=\"0 0 280 9\">\n    <path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 3.6c2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.824-1.515C7.724 1.108 9.879 0 13.998 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.644.847 2.943 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515C35.72 1.108 37.874 0 41.995 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.824 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515C63.719 1.108 65.873 0 69.993 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.825-1.515C91.715 1.108 93.87 0 97.99 0c4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.178-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.173-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.055-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.826 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.881 0 4.18-.668 5.827-1.515 1.9-.977 4.056-2.085 8.176-2.085 4.121 0 6.276 1.108 8.177 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.827 1.515s4.181-.668 5.828-1.515C259.718 1.108 261.873 0 265.995 0c4.121 0 6.275 1.108 8.177 2.084 1.645.848 2.946 1.516 5.828 1.516V9h-.007l-5.252-.793c-1.129-.382-2.056-.848-2.919-1.291-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.827-1.516-2.882 0-4.183.669-5.829 1.516-1.9.977-4.056 2.084-8.177 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.647-.847-2.947-1.516-5.828-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.827 1.516-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.176 2.084-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.175-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.826 1.516c-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.945-1.516-5.825-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.174 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.943-1.516-5.823-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.826 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.825-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516c-1.9.977-4.053 2.084-8.173 2.084s-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084c-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C90.265 7.893 88.11 9 83.99 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C62.268 7.893 60.113 9 55.993 9c-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C34.27 7.893 32.116 9 27.996 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C7.311 7.359 1.127 8.618 0 9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tune-in-for-more-fintech-news-next-week\">Tune in for more FinTech news next week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re already looking forward to what the next week might bring.
