Biz2Credit Integrates New Responsive Website Technology, Experiences a 60 Percent Increase in Mobile Small Business Loan Applications
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Biz2Credit, the leading online credit marketplace connecting small- and medium-sized business borrowers with lenders, announced today that its traffic has increased 60 percent since integrating responsive website technology earlier this year.
Since implementing technological advancements that enable its website to dynamically change based on the type of device from which a visitor goes to Biz2Credit.com, mobile small business loan applications have risen from 25% of the online platform’s traffic to 40% in just six months.
"Just as consumers increasingly use their smart phones and tablets for personal activities, the owners of small companies are taking advantage of the changes in mobile technology to conduct business," said Rohit Arora, CEO of Biz2Credit and one of the country's leading experts in small business finance. "This is particularly true for female and minority entrepreneurs, as well as aspiring small business owners under the age of 30."
A recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 51% of U.S. adults and 61% of Internet users, engage in online banking. Further, the number of users engaging in mobile banking has nearly doubled in two year’s time.
“Mobile banking represents the future for personal transactions, as well as small business banking,” added Arora, who this week gave a featured presentation on mobile loan application trends at the American Banker Small Business Banking Conference in New Orleans. "Banks and other lenders that are taking advantage of responsive website technology will continue to have a huge advantage. Any institution that is not investing in mobile technology upgrades risks falling behind competitors."
In 2013, Biz2Credit surpassed the $1 billion mark in small business funding transactions throughout the U.S. Lenders in the network include big banks, as well as regional banks, credit unions, microlenders, cash advance companies, and alternative lenders.
