# Embedded banking: Time to reverse the trend

## Addressing a global problem

### How can banks become trusted advisors to small businesses?

A lot of focus has been placed on SMEs who have long been neglected by banks and whilst banks have attempted to react, it feels more like a sticking plaster fix rather than the major overhaul that is required. 

Our white paper examines the threats and provides banks with a suggested path to the promised land of trusted advisor to SMEs. 

The transformative path will take banks from being a transactional product-based organisation into a customer-centric workflow-based platform that puts them at the heart of a business and cements their position as the essential component of their customers’ day-to-day business operations.
