SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.,
March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- First Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in
North Carolina, has announced its
launch of Autobooks, a small business payment and accounting
platform that seamlessly integrates with the bank's online and
mobile banking.
Autobooks allows First Bank business clients to create invoices,
accept payments, and pay bills automatically. This saves them from
having to track down their customers or vendor partners for credit
card numbers or checks. Business owners also get access to
accounting tools and real-time reporting within Autobooks that make
month-end, year-end, and tax-time assessments much less stressful.
All of this lives directly within First Bank's secure online
banking system, making it easier for a small business owner to
manage their cash flow.
"First Bank is committed to being the best bank for small
businesses, so the decision to add Autobooks was an easy one," said
Jenna Williams, SVP, treasury
services manager at First Bank. "Everything is extremely accessible
from within our online and mobile banking platforms, and it
automates a number of otherwise time-consuming, complicated
processes for our clients."
Steve Robert, co-founder and CEO
of Autobooks, said, "We are proud to partner with First Bank to
make small business banking better. By integrating our
solution directly within online and mobile banking, a small
business owner consolidates the management of their business and
finances into a single small business e-commerce platform—powered
by their bank. This enables the small business owner to start and
finish their day with First Bank."
The addition of services like Autobooks is one of the reasons
that First Bank was recently recognized by Fortune as one of the
world's Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies, by Forbes as one of the
Best In-State Banks of North
Carolina, and by WalletHub as 2019 Best Bank Accounts for
Small Businesses – Rewards.
