Emerge

We're excited to announce our $12M Series A round, paving the way to NZ's first challenger bank Emerging 🏦 Business banking can be a nightmare, and that's why we started Emerge. No branches. No paperwork. Just lightning-fast, all-digital accounts & cards that let businesses get things done — faster, better, easier... Big thanks to Altered Capital, Icehouse Ventures, K1W1 LIMITED, NZ Fintech Fund, Hard Yaka Ventures, NZVC, AIM - Angel Investors Marlborough and Enterprise Angels for backing our mission to make banking a breeze for Kiwi businesses. "Feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. They love how fast, easy, and transparent everything is, and the time and money they save which goes back into their business - so now it’s time to share this with even more businesses.” ➡ Jamie Jermain We launched in May and the uptake and customer love has been mind-blowing  Kiwi businesses of all shapes, sizes, ages and stages are jumping aboard Emerge for a better alternative and we're so grateful for their support. "We’ve got BIG plans to shake up the way Kiwis manage money. Get ready, this is just the beginning." ➡ Jovan Pavlicevic Is Emerge right for you?? In short, yes (and here's why): ✨ 7 minutes to open your account (from the comfort of your own home). No fees, fuss, paperwork or queues needed ✨ Unlimited team cards in a few taps. With real-time notifications, controls and limits that you set ✨ A digital-first, beautiful and innovative experience that was built for modern Kiwi businesses (not one that was outdated during the millennium) ✨ Features that you make doing business 100x faster - EmergePay, batch payments, enriched data, dual-auth, and SO MUCH more coming down the line. "Emerge believes in New Zealand’s entrepreneurial potential, and its frictionless experience is already having a massive impact on the way that Kiwis manage their money." ➡ McGregor Fea, Altered Capital That's BARELY scratching the surface - check out our website for more deets: www.emerge.nz

We spent last Friday taking a bit of well-deserved time for ourselves. Safe to say, we're not as good on the range as we are at rolling out the best bank alternative NZ businesses have ever seen... But, we can't get it all right, all of the time! It's been a huge push the last few months from everyone pictured here (and a few legends that couldn't be there). Big news on the horizon!
