The app's business formation features allow new entities to launch in minutes. This speed and efficiency are made possible by Shaype's infrastructure, which is crucial for ANNA Money's entry into the Australian market, enabling fast, compliant, and scalable innovation [3].
The super app serves as a 24/7 financial co-pilot, replacing fragmented workflows with a seamless digital experience. ANNA Money’s virtual office service integrates all these tools, offering startups a streamlined way to establish and manage their entire business infrastructure digitally [2].
