RBS/NatWest launch online trading tool for SMEs

RBS and NatWest have announced the launch of BizCrowd, a free-to-use online business supplier community. Suppliers can sign-up and pitch for service requirements posted by other UK businesses or post their own.

BizCrowd is open to all UK businesses and is designed to encourage collaboration between British SMEs. The website helps SMEs build their online profile and generate new business leads, as well as acting as a resource for customers looking for trusted suppliers. A feedback mechanism allows registered suppliers to be rated and recommended by customers in the community. Chris Sullivan, CEO corporate banking, RBS and NatWest, says: “It has always been the role of the bank manager to connect British businesses to one another, now we’re extending that support online. We hope BizCrowd helps as many SMEs as possible raise their profile and win new business.”
