Jobox is transforming the home service industry by providing pros with an all-in-one workplace through its app, which will soon integrate money management with Stripe-powered financial accounts. According to Stripe research, nearly half (46%) of businesses report that their banking experience has hindered their growth. Jobox is eliminating that pain point for home service pros as they manage their small businesses by providing them with a financial account, through which they can receive micro loans, make withdrawals at ATMs, and have no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements.
“As we scale at Jobox, providing pros with everything they need to succeed remains our North Star. This partnership with Stripe reflects another step we’re taking to lift the home services industry out of its antiquated ways, propel the industry forward with technology and offer pros all of the resources they need to thrive in today’s labor market,” said Jobox CEO Shay Bloch. “On average, we see about $16M sitting in digital Jobox wallets at any given time, reflecting that pros prefer to manage their finances within our app instead of transferring funds to a traditional bank account. Through our integration with Stripe, we’re taking our in-app financial features to the next level with micro loans, payment integration with vendors and other financial services. By having an official money management account allocated to work specifically, pros will be able to manage their small businesses efficiently and track spending on all job-related expenses in one place.”
