Collaboration Aims to Improve Financial Management Efficiency

The partnership combines digital financial management technology with modern banking services to help businesses manage operations and finances more efficiently and sustainably.

Challenges Faced by SMEs in Managing Finances

Many businesses continue to face challenges in managing financial flows across multiple systems, from manual bookkeeping to time-consuming account reconciliation.

According to the Business Fitness Index 2024, a study conducted by OCBC and NielsenIQ, 77% of surveyed SMEs still record financial data manually, which affects the financial health of their businesses.

Michelle explained that the platform is supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to increase accuracy, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.

The system’s all-in-one accounting features automate transaction recording, monitor cash flow and profit-loss statements instantly, and manage invoices, taxes, and financial reports in one place. AI support ensures accurate reporting and helps manage business supply chains effectively.

Mekari-OCBC Collaboration Supports Seamless Operations

Through this collaboration, Mekari and OCBC provide clients with practical, accurate, and efficient workflows for managing all financial operations. Integrating Mekari Jurnal’s bookkeeping system into banking services helps streamline business processes.
