National Bank eyeing business-focused digital platform

National Bank Holdings in Denver is working on a digital platform for small and midsize businesses. 

The $7.1 billion-asset company provided details in an investor presentation for 2UniFi, a platform that it said would increase businesses’ access to the banking system, reduce costs and save time, and increase access to actionable and real-time information. 

The presentation, which did not provide a timeline for introducing the platform, said 2UniFi will offer clients services such as digital lending, deposit and treasury management services, information services and blockchain for a faster and lower-cost payment process.

The presentation highlighted National Bank’s strategic relationships with Finstro, Figure Technologies, USDF Consortium and JAM FINTOP Capital. 

The bank disclosed in August that it had invested in Figure as part of an effort to collaborate on blockchain initiatives. JAM FINTOP, a bank-backed investment fund targeting tech firms, raised $150 million in April.
