NAB Bank will soon launch a new unsecured loan capped at $50,000 for small businesses, in response to the large portion of aspiring entrepreneurs in the country.

QuickBiz is the latest brainchild of in-house innovation hub NAB Labs set to approve eligible customers’ online business loans within minutes. A credit checking system built on Application Programming Interface technology will make for fast application turnaround.

“The Australian economy relies on entrepreneurs who innovate, establish new industries and create jobs,” said NAB Group Executive Business Banking, Angela Mentis.

NAB research revealed that one third of Australians have business owner aspirations, with half of them being a part of the millennial generation. The data found cash flow support from banks was critical for young startups to grow.

“In the early days of business ownership, small businesses often only require small amounts of funding – and many owners don’t have a property or other significant assets to secure a loan against,” Mentis said.

“We stand ready to back Australian businesses with great ideas, providing simple, quick funding solutions to support small businesses looking to grow”.
