@AshDHarrington @SheaBenton @echo5juliet I'm the brother :) You'll be totally fine in Chinatown, it's not dangerous at all. Just don't leave anything in the car, even the trunk. For dim sum I'm partial to Ming's Tasty. For hand-rolled noodles Shan Dong. Duck, not sure. Just some suggestions, most places are good. Enjoy!

Important for banks to personalize small business digital as much as possible...cash-flow tools, tailored assistance with business formation and account onboarding, business analytics, etc. Great to see some examples here. https://t.co/uAFnW3u8on

@matthewortiz @roguillendude Yeah we're dealing with the same thing with furniture, though not a 6 month delay, that's crazy. Good luck man.

Will be interesting to see uptake and feedback on this cash-flow tool from FNBO business customers. Only 17% of U.S. businesses are using a bank tool to calculate/project cash flow. Most turning to a spreadsheet or QuickBooks, or doing nothing at all. @JavelinStrategy

[Mark Schwanhausser @MSchwanhausser]

Banks need to position themselves as financial hubs for small-business clients if they hope to fend off @Square, @Intuit QuickBooks, and @PayPal. Digital invoicing is an excellent place to start, along with laying the foundation for using #Zelle to pay businesses. @ianfbenton

[Ian Benton @ianfbenton]

New report out this week - Discussing how banks can build invoicing tools into online and mobile banking. Encourage migration to electronic payments, compete with Square/PayPal/QB ecosystems...especially useful for business owners interacting directly with customers in the field.

[Javelin Strategy @JavelinStrategy]

"Banks have a massive opportunity to build #invoicing tools attached to payment-acceptance capabilities into their small-business digital banking offerings." - @ianfbenton states in a new @JavelinStrategy report. #MobileInvoicing #SmallBusiness
