Milestone reflects growing trust from business owners seeking digital-first banking with speed, simplicity, and support

Axos Bank ("Axos") today announced its recognition of National Small Business Week, held this year from May 3–9, 2026, celebrating the entrepreneurs and business owners who power communities, create jobs, and strengthen the economy.

Axos supports more than 40,000 small business customers nationwide, helping owners manage the financial needs behind their day-to-day operations. From digital account access to business banking tools and customer support, Axos is focused on providing practical solutions that help entrepreneurs operate more efficiently and stay focused on building their businesses.

"Reaching $1 billion in small business deposits is an important milestone because it reflects the confidence business owners place in Axos," said Tim Chung, SVP, Head of Consumer Deposits. "Small businesses want banking that works the way they work today—fast, straightforward, and dependable. Our focus is on combining the efficiency of digital-first banking with the confidence that business owners can still get help when they need it, without relying on branch visits as the model."

Small business owners carry a lot: the daily decisions, the unexpected challenges, and the responsibility of keeping their business moving forward. Axos is proud to support the people behind those businesses with banking that fits into their day-to-day lives, helping them manage their finances with more confidence and less complexity.

Axos continues to expand its small business ecosystem through strategic partnerships designed to help entrepreneurs operate more efficiently beyond core banking services. Through collaborations with leading payroll, merchant services, and industry specialists, Axos provides access to solutions that support seamless payments, payroll management, financial operations, and growth.

"Small business owners are managing more moving pieces than ever, and they need financial relationships that can keep pace," said Tania Akhavan, FVP and Head of Small Business Banking at Axos Bank. "Our focus is on building a connected ecosystem that brings banking, payments, payroll, and other essential services closer together so customers can spend less time navigating financial complexity and more time growing their businesses."

During National Small Business Week, Axos would like to especially thank the entrepreneurs, operators, and growing businesses behind this milestone. Their trust has helped shape a banking experience designed to reduce complexity and support the realities of modern business ownership.
