and we're looking for brave partners
to join us
We provide funding to fintechs and assist in their development and rapid growth. We also build our own fintechs from scratch. We combine the spirit of start-ups with the power of a global company, Société Générale.
KB SmartSolutions is a subsidiary of Komerční banka. We’re bringing together the best of fintechs and traditional banks to build the financial services of the future. We believe in "client first", but also in "money makes the world go round".
We’re looking for start-ups creating new financial services, that already have gotten through the initial product development stage, that have their first satisfied customers and now are looking to grow.
We'll provide you with needed infrastructure, including our API.We’ll work with you to test your new technologies and services. What’s more, you’ll be able to verify and fine-tune the functionality of your products and services using real data.
We can assist and advise you all along the way. We will quickly test how the market responds to your ideas. If the feedback is positive, we’ll roll up our sleeves and together we’ll do whatever it take to reach your goals.
We’re able to reach 2.4 million customers in the Czech Republic who are accustomed to traditional financial services delivered with premium care. Because we also are a part of the Soc Gen group, we can reach even millions more customers on four continents.
From initial investment and funding growth to providing working capital and getting through the exit, we’re able to assist you in every stage of our joint project.
We know what are the needs of our clients and thanks to our partnerships with start-ups we are able to fulfill these promptly and flexibly.

Spolupráca s KB bola pre nás príjemným prekvapením a to hlavne v rýchlosti a otvorenosti v úvodných jednaniach o spolupráci, ale aj pri samotnej realizácii. Všetci zamestnanci, s ktorými sme prišli do kontaktu sú vysoko kompetentní a profesionálni a celý náš tím baví spolupráca s KB a KB SmartSolutions.

Byli jsme překvapeni, jak kvalitně byla vybudována KB SmartSolution, jakožto platforma KB pro budoucí investice do startupů. Funkce company developera, který tvoří spojku mezi bankou a námi je jasně definovaná a vykonávána s maximálním nasazením a profesionalitou. KB SmartSolution vytváří prostředí pro exponenciální růst naší společnosti tím, že se aktivně podílí na hledání a realizaci synergií mezi námi a bankou. Obecně lze říci, že KB důkladně promyslela strategii investic do inovativních produktů jak po akviziční stránce, tak především i v průběhu spolupráce po dobu investičního horizontu. Jsou to ty nejchytřejší peníze, které jsme mohli získat.
"Banks and fintechs are natural allies more than competitors. We want alliances that benefit everyone – banks, fintechs and, most of all, clients."
"It’s the same as in nature. Those who ultimately survive on the market are not the biggest or strongest but are those most open to change."

Doesn't matter. We're looking for any ideas that can help us to provide some extra benefit to our customers, like automatic scanning of their invoices or biometric identity verification when they open a new account.
First of all, get in touch with Tomáš using the contact form below. Tomáš will set up an appointment with you, and together you can discuss possibilities for collaboration. If you find common ground, Tomáš will work with you to prepare your presentation for our innovation board.
All projects are evaluated individually, and we believe every great idea deserves a closer look. Get in touch even if you're still at the beginning and your product is just being prepared.
One of our colleagues will become part of your team and she or he will be your direct connection to the parent company KB. We’ll develop our project together, including its implementation and introducing it to KB’s clients.
You know quite a bit about us now, but we don’t know anything about you yet. Please prepare some basic information about your project and send it to Tomáš, who is working with all new partners.
Tomáš will review your presentation, then get in touch with you to arrange an introductory meeting.
