We caught up with Michelle to dig into the insights she gathered while testing our MCP-based AI Connector in the early days of our beta. The result? Faster decisions, fewer manual workarounds, and a finance function that keeps pace with their business.

Cash flow issues don't always come from a lack of money. They come from a lack of visibility. When you clearly see what's coming in, what's going out, and what's sitting idle, everything gets easier to manage. Here's how to start ➜ https://ow.ly/AELp50YO6tH #DigitalBank #BusinessBanking #SmallBusiness #OnlyForward

AI in banking? Let's get real about it. There's a ton of hype out there about AI, but what it actually means for banks and their customers is where things get interesting. Our Director of Product, Nate Gruendemann, is joining our partners at Narmi for a live webinar tomorrow, April 22nd at 2:00 PM ET, to cut through the noise and discuss where AI is actually making an impact in banking right now. It's going to be a good one. Register below, and we'll see you there! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #DigitalBank #BusinessBanking #AI #Fintech #OnlyForward
Banking is due for another seismic change in how users interact with their finances, and the right financial institutions are primed to enter a new frontier where consumers and businesses interact with their financial data directly through LLMs. At our upcoming webinar, "The AI Advantage," we’re pulling back the curtain on Narmi’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the secure bridge that positions your institution to own this new channel: ✅ Meet Users Where They Are: Consumers are already using LLMs to plan their lives; MCP puts your bank’s data safely inside those conversations. ✅ Beyond the Portal: Move past traditional dashboards and allow users to have complex conversations -- on anything from vacation planning to business cash-flow forecasting -- directly through their preferred AI tools. ✅ Neutralize Fintech Threats: By owning the integration between banking data and AI platforms, community FIs can provide the high-tech intelligence that businesses often seek from outside fintechs. You won't want to miss this one. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gPV9CNyX

Running a small business isn’t just about managing money. It’s about building something that lasts, and not being slowed down along the way. But the reality is, if your bank can’t keep up, neither can you. From real-time payments to AI-powered insights, the gap between businesses that adapt and those that don’t is growing fast. This checklist helps you evaluate your current setup and ensure it’s built for where you are going next. → https://ow.ly/GXCc50YFNNz #DigitalBank #BusinessBanking #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship #OnlyForward
