About Us : Small businesses are the backbone of the US economy, comprising almost half of the GDP and the private workforce. Yet, big banks don’t provide the access, assistance and modern tools that owners need to successfully grow their business. We started Novo to challenge the status quo—we’re on a mission to increase the GDP of the modern entrepreneur by creating the go-to banking platform for small businesses (SMBs).

We developed modern bank accounts and tools to help to save time and increase cash flow.

We’ve made a big impact in a short amount of time, helping thousands of organizations access powerfully simple business banking.
