Fintech VibePay has added more UK banks and payment providers to its platform, meanwhile it has launched a new business account function via its app.

The fintech now has 24 banks integrated with the app, including new additions Starling, Capital One and Tesco. Through this, VibePay aims to boost engagement with its users and drive more sign-ups amongst its Gen Z audience.

Luke Massie, VibePay founder, said: “We’re built for Gen Z by Gen Z which means we’re able to reach this critical audience with a unique solution built on their lives.

“We can’t wait to roll out the new functionality over the coming weeks and see our community continue to grow. We’ve already got our sights set on the next phase of growth for 2020 and beyond.”

Adding business accounts 

According to VibePay, the addition of business accounts will open the fintech up to a small business audience and appeal to those who earn money from selling on their social media channels or platforms like Depop.

Through the function, customers will be able to make and receive payments with no fees. They will also have instant access to funds and a transaction dashboard to track their payments.
