Banks and fintechs

Help your customers become business customers

Offer WenBuidl to personal, payments and small-business customers.

Customers can turn an idea or existing source of income into an organised business, while your institution supports them from the beginning of the journey.

How can banks help customers start businesses?

Banks and fintechs can sponsor WenBuidl access for customers who want to start earning from a skill, service or idea.

Buidlr helps each customer create a business blueprint, define what they will sell, set their pricing and begin managing customers, invoices and payments.
