Built for Community Banks
Megabanks outspend you and fintechs out-ship you — but neither knows your market. Cotribute gives community banks fintech-grade digital account opening and lending, for consumers and businesses, on the core you already run. Customers open accounts in under 2 minutes, and business applicants clear KYB without a branch visit.
Your service already wins. Your application experience shouldn't lose.
Digital-first competitors have reset customer expectations: instant account opening, mobile-native flows, zero friction. Cotribute closes that gap without a core conversion — and the results are measured, not projected.
Business deposits are your edge — stop making businesses come in twice
Business Account Opening (BAO) turns a paperwork-heavy branch process into a compliant digital flow. Owners apply from their desk; your back office gets a complete, verified file.
KYB and Secretary of State checks, automated
Business identity verification, Secretary of State validation, and business fraud scoring run in-flow through BusinessGuard+ — so a legitimate LLC clears in minutes and a shell company never reaches your ops queue.
Fraud & Decisioning →FinCEN CDD beneficial ownership, built in
Beneficial-owner collection and certification are part of the application, not a follow-up email chain. Out-of-the-box templates cover multiple corporate structures — LLCs, corporations, sole proprietors, partnerships — with automated document generation and e-signatures.
Business Account Opening →Business lending on the same rails
Business Loan Application (BLA) handles commercial and small business loans, business lines of credit, and business credit cards — with multi-signer support, automated document collection, and business income verification.

Community bank FAQ
CEOHow does this help us compete with megabanks and fintechs for the next generation of customers?
By removing the one place they beat you: the first five minutes. Cotribute customers open accounts in under 2 minutes with instant funding — the experience digital-native applicants expect — while your brand, rates, and local relationships stay front and center. Clients see a 60% increase in conversions with modern application UX. See the customer results.
CFOWhere's the return — deposits or cost savings?
Both, and both are attributed. On deposits: Capitol Credit Union of Texas averaged $10,000 in new deposits per account opened after moving to Cotribute. On cost: Capitol cut processing time 70%, and Nutmeg State FCU automated 97.6% of manual origination steps. Business Account Opening extends that economics to higher-balance commercial deposits. Pricing is published by asset tier and module on the pricing page.
CIOWe run Fiserv Premier / Jack Henry SilverLake. Is that a real integration or a promise?
Real and in production. Cotribute maintains 36+ direct API integrations with real-time connections to Jack Henry (SilverLake, CIF 20/20, Core Director, Symitar) and Fiserv (Premier, DNA, XP2, Portico) cores. We're a Jack Henry VIP Partner, Banno Certified, and a Fiserv AppMarket Partner. Accounts book straight to the core; account opening can be live in ~30 days. Check the integrations hub for your exact configuration.
ComplianceHow do you handle FinCEN CDD, beneficial ownership, and KYB for business accounts?
In the application flow, not after it. Beneficial-owner collection and certification for FinCEN CDD are built into Business Account Opening, and BusinessGuard+ runs business identity verification, Secretary of State validation, and business fraud scoring automatically. On the consumer side, KYC, OFAC, and ID verification are automated with 70+ configurable fraud and risk decisioning rules. Cotribute is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and FIS GKYC certified — the trust page has the full due-diligence picture.
OpsWill this bury my back office in a new queue to manage?
The opposite — it shrinks the queue. Nutmeg State FCU decisions 89.5% of applications instantly and automated 97.6% of manual steps; CPM FCU cut manual review effort 82% in 90 days. Applications are triaged into auto-approve, auto-deny, and review, so staff time goes to genuine exceptions. Documents and e-signatures are generated automatically, including for multi-owner business accounts.
LendingCan it handle business lending, or just deposits?
Business Loan Application (BLA) supports commercial and small business loans, business lines of credit, and business credit cards — with multi-signer support, automated document collection, and business income verification. Consumer lending runs on the same platform; Red River CU lifted monthly loan applications 28% with an 83% completion rate on their highest-volume product. Loan modules typically go live in 45–60 days depending on core.
