We are thrilled to announce Pinwheel's new strategic partnership with Jack Henry, a leading financial technology company, which gives their customers a fast path to implementation for the industry's top performing Direct Deposit Switching solution. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the digital direct deposit setup experience for accountholders at community and regional financial institutions.

Seamless Integration with Jack Henry's Digital Banking Platform

Utilizing the Banno Digital Toolkit™, the set of APIs on which the Banno Digital Platform™ is built, we have seamlessly integrated our top-performing direct deposit switching (DDS) solution into the Jack Henry digital banking platform. This integration, facilitated by Jack Henry's API, design, and authenticated frameworks, contributes to their extensive ecosystem of over 950 fintechs, benefiting approximately 7,500 financial institutions and their account holders.

Market-Leading Coverage with Pinwheel's DDS

Our next-generation DDS product stands out due to its market-leading coverage, encompassing 100% of the US workforce. This inclusivity allows any US worker, whether a full-time employee, gig worker, or recipient of unemployment benefits or SSI payments, to move their direct deposit within seconds.

Innovative Payroll Partner Network

A key differentiator in our partnership with Jack Henry is our innovative payroll partner network, including providers like OneSource Virtual (OSV). This network facilitates the creation of a frictionless Direct Deposit Switching product that instantly identifies and authenticates U.S. workers' payroll records within the bank account application workflow, eliminating the need for consumers to enter credentials.

Optimized Conversion and Growth for Pinwheel Customers

Customers of Pinwheel, such as American Express, Cash App, and Citizens, have already experienced optimized conversion, increased customer lifetime value, and deposit growth. Through this collaboration, existing Banno customers can seamlessly integrate and activate our DDS solution within hours, unlocking these benefits for their digital suite.

Empowering Financial Institutions with Integrated Direct Deposit
