Recognise and Newcastle Strategic Solutions partner to offer SME deposits
Recognise Financial Services Ltd has announced it has selected Newcastle Strategic Solutions Ltd, the UK leader in end-to-end savings management services from initial on-boarding through to going account management, to deliver a smarter approach in savings products. Recognise will be the first client specialising in SME banking to partner with Newcastle Strategic Solutions to offer SME deposits.
The partnership will enable Recognise to have a fast and easy se up of deposit services without the complexities of software installations and configurations whilst enabling smart Knowing Your Customer (KYC) and service management.

Recognise's customer focused technology will enable it to deliver a seamless and enhanced banking experience to a growing group of dissatisfied SMEs.

Their end-to-end scalable savings platform will enable us to focus both on customer attraction and business efficiency to address challenges not only related to banking needs, but also of innovation, user-friendliness and an ecosystem of applications. We aim to set the standard with this new partnership for SME clients who have long anticipated customer service at this level".
