ANNA Money Launches All-in-One Business Finance Super App in Australia
ANNA Money, a UK-based fintech company, has made its entry into the Australian market with the launch of its innovative business finance super app, ANNA Business Account & Tax. This comprehensive platform aims to simplify business administration for startups and proprietary limited companies [2][4].
Key features of the ANNA Business Account & Tax include:
- Business setup services such as company registration, business name registration, ABN and ACN registration, and virtual office setup [4].
- A business current account with debit Mastercard®, enabling quick payments and receipts, instant downloadable statements (CSV/PDF), and secure, 2-factor authentication protection [1][4].
- Invoice management, allowing creation, sending, and automated chasing of late payments for customers [1][4].
- Expense management, including on-the-go receipt capturing and secure storage of expenses and invoices [1].
- Bank account aggregation, where ANNA connects to all linked business and personal bank accounts for full cashflow visibility [1][4].
- Automated bookkeeping, tax return assistance, and compliance management, helping founders stay on top of financial administration and ASIC filings in real time [2].
- AI-driven capabilities such as fully autonomous business account opening and AI support designed to reduce administrative burdens for startups and SMEs [2][5].
- 24/7 customer support based in the UK with rapid response times [1][4].
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].
To celebrate the launch, ANNA Money is offering the first 1,000 new companies formed in Australia 12 months free access to its virtual office service [2]. This partnership between ANNA Money and Shaype is a significant inflection point for business finance in Australia, aiming to build an intelligent, agentic financial system that actively works for business owners around the clock [6].
Ryan Edwards-Pritchard, CEO of ANNA Money in Australia, and Andrew Laycock, CEO of Shaype, both support this launch, citing the opportunity to create new user experiences in financial services [7]. The partnership between ANNA Money and Shaype is an example of how embedded finance infrastructure can unlock new user experiences in financial services [8].
Shaype is proud to empower Australian SMEs with modern, secure, and integrated tools through their partnership with ANNA Money [9]. The new super app provides automated tax tools, real-time business accounts with an Australian BSB/account number and NPP-enabled payments, and an ANNA-branded Mastercard for corporate cards for business owners and their teams [1][4].
This comprehensive suite positions ANNA Money as a leading AI-powered financial platform tailored for the needs of new businesses and startups in Australia [2][4].
