Thread Bank Selects Finxact from Fiserv to Power Embedded Banking Strategies, Serving as a Model for Community Banks

Infinant to serve as the modern embedded banking layer to Finxact’s real-time API core

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thread Bank (“Thread” or the “Bank”) today announced that it has selected Finxact from Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI), the cloud-native, real-time banking core that offers enhanced access to data, as the Bank’s core banking platform. The Finxact core will allow Thread to further execute on its strategy to deliver modern, compliant, and scalable embedded and core banking solutions, creating value for partners and providing an innovation roadmap for fellow community banks.

As the embedded banking market continues to evolve, Thread sought a modern, real-time core that could offer the Bank a homogeneous solution that will allow further scalability throughout the Bank’s deposit and payments infrastructure. Finxact’s API-first approach, combined with Fiserv’s experience in compliance, was a perfect fit for Thread’s long-term strategy.

Additionally, Thread will leverage Infinant and their Interlace Platform as the embedded banking layer for Finxact’s API core, providing Thread and its customers a modern user interface to access and manage Thread’s embedded and core banking capabilities along with payment processing.

“Our partnership with Fiserv and Infinant serves as a blueprint for community banks looking to innovate, drive new deposits, and ultimately thrive in an ever-changing landscape,” said Chris Black, CEO, President, and member of the Board of Directors of Thread. “We did extensive due diligence to find a core that could meet the breadth of our product requirements and deliver in a modern, compliant way. Ultimately, it became very clear to our team that Finxact was the best solution to meet those needs.”

“We’re energized to be working with Thread to pioneer a new vision for community banks, freeing them from geographic limitations by offering financial services through embedded partnerships,” said Sunil Sachdev, SVP and head of embedded finance at Fiserv. “Thread choosing Finxact as its core banking platform to scale its embedded banking offering for a broad range of customers demonstrates Finxact's ability to support banking, payments and data at scale.”

Bankers Helping Bankers played an instrumental role in fostering the expansion of the relationship and formalizing the shared vision between Thread, Fiserv and Infinant. The Fiserv and Infinant relationship builds on recent developments solidifying Thread as a digital community banking leader, namely the opening of the Bank’s new corporate headquarters in Nashville.
