Q2's Small Business Digital Banking Platform gives banks and credit unions one configurable system that matches functionality to each SMB's size and industry. Small businesses need banking tools sized to their operations, not stripped-down consumer features or oversized corporate systems.
How does Q2 give SMBs the flexibility to bank on their terms?
If there’s one word to describe small business owners and entrepreneurs, it’s busy. They want the flexibility to do their banking the way they need to, when they need to. For instance, retail SMBs may require POS integration, while contractors need invoicing tools. With Q2, you can give any type of SMB the flexibility and scalability needed to meet its unique challenges.
Tailored experiences
With the Q2 Digital Banking Platform®, SMBs have the capabilities and functionality specific to them, and you can go further to create a custom experience based on their needs. Features such as cash flow management, multiple user roles, and account segmentation give you the ability to meet a wide range of SMB requirements.
Beyond banking
When you provide fintech solutions for services such as expense management and payroll, you strengthen relationships and keep your account holders from sourcing those solutions themselves.
Room to grow
As your SMB account holders grow, so do their banking requirements. With Q2 digital banking, you can add features and functionality on demand to meet needs.

FAQs
What is a small business digital banking platform?
A small business digital banking platform is the online and mobile banking system a bank or credit union uses to serve small business account holders, with tools like cash flow management, multiple user roles, and account segmentation. Q2's platform lets financial institutions match that functionality to each SMB's size and industry instead of offering one fixed package.
How is small business digital banking different from consumer or commercial banking?
Small businesses need more than consumer banking features but less than a full corporate treasury system. Q2 sizes functionality to the business so a retail SMB can get POS integration while a contractor gets invoicing tools, and capabilities can be added on demand as the business grows.
How does Q2 tailor digital banking to different types of small businesses?
Q2 packages capabilities by SMB size and industry, and the Q2 Composable Dashboard personalizes each interaction using data insights. Financial institutions can configure user roles, account segmentation, and cash flow tools for individual account holders.
What payment options can banks offer small businesses through Q2?
Q2 supports ACH, checks, and instant payments over FedNow and RTP, consolidated into a single platform. SMBs can also accept and track payments through Q2 Innovation Studio partners such as Autobooks and PayRecs.
How quickly can a financial institution add new fintech integrations?
Through Q2 Innovation Studio, new fintech integrations typically go live in a few weeks rather than several months. The partner ecosystem spans payments, origination and deposit growth, and financial wellness tools.
