FOR COMMUNITY BANKS

We enable community bank partnerships with early-stage fintech startups.

HELP DEVELOP NEW FINTECH SOLUTIONS FOCUSED ON YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

Let early-stage fintech startups focus on your unique issues.

Emerging fintechs tailor their product development to address your distinct requirements, challenges, and constraints from the very beginning. That's the point of working with an early-stage fintech on a pilot product—and a huge advantage for community banks. Instead of attempting to modify an existing product to fit your specifications, they prioritize creating a solution that's truly designed for your needs.

GET TOP-LEVEL CUSTOMER SERVICE

You're the priority, not the big banks.

As one of the first customers of a fintech startup, you can expect a substantial amount of dedicated support. It's way better than letting the big banks get all of their attention.

A fintech startup can provide you with a unique opportunity to receive personalized, dedicated support, shape the development of their offerings, and gain a competitive advantage. It's a win-win scenario where you can benefit from the fintech's attention, and the fintech can benefit from your feedback and support as they grow and refine their products and services.

LEVERAGE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TECH ECOSYSTEM

Get innovation from your own backyard.

The Pacific Northwest is home to so many tech-focused companies such as Microsoft and Amazon, with operations for Silicon Valley tech companies such as Google, Intel, and Facebook. Innovations from one industry often flow to others, such as Expedia spun off from Microsoft, or Starbucks / Nordstrom / REI developing their customer loyalty programs from Amazon innovations.

Why should community banks be left out? Join us and leverage the tech ecosystem in your own backyard!

ACCESS THE BEST FINTECH FROM OTHER REGIONS AS WELL

Get the best fintech ideas from elsewhere too.

Although we're focused on the Pacific Northwest, we're also connected with early-stage fintech startups in other regions through our partner organizations such as the Mid-Atlantic Fintech Coalition, the Southeast Fintech Coalition, and the Western Fintech Coalition. As such, we'll also bring the most promising fintech startups from those regions to you.
