Fintech startup Emerge wants to 'fix' banking in New Zealand, starting with SMEs before launching into consumer banking.

The founders behind pocket money app SquareOne have rebranded as Emerge, a fintech company with a focus on rectifying what they perceive as a “broken landscape” within the business accounts and expenses market.

Jovan Pavlicevic and Jamie Jermain are currently jumping from the land of pocket money to supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) through a new business costs management app, with the pair’s long term goal to become a challenger bank later down the track.
