Revenue and Loyalty Growth Embedding banking into third-party ecosystems deepens loyalty and unlocks new revenue streams through innovative cross-selling opportunities. 4. Compliance and Fraud Management BankShift’s patent-pending technology addresses complex regulatory and fraud challenges, removing barriers to adopting embedded banking strategies.

This Veterans Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and commitment of all veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting our nation. Our founder, Rob Thacher, embodies this spirit. His journey from military service to leading BankShift is rooted in the same vow he took to defend our country. Rob’s military experience, coupled with years in tech, led him to establish BankShift in 2020 to protect consumers’ financial security and privacy, especially as cyber threats surged during the pandemic. Just as he led the creation of secure mobile technology for the federal government post-9/11, Rob saw a new mission: to deliver a secure, streamlined digital banking experience that also keeps fraudsters out and consumers connected to their finances in one simple frictionless platform. Today, BankShift is not only a financial tool but a testament to the resilience and dedication of veterans like Rob and the countless others who continue to serve our communities. Thank you to all veterans for your unwavering service and commitment to protecting our freedom. #VeteransDay2024 #HonoringOurHeroes #FinancialSecurity
