Amerant Bank expects the APIs to reduce the risk of non-compliant account openings. The platform will be connected to the lender’s data sources to verify the applicant’s identity.

The technology will be used for online as well as in-branch operations. Amerant Bank’s team members will have access to Alloy’s dashboard to onboard customers in person.

Amerant Bank vice chairman and CEO Jerry Plush said: “Providing an exceptional experience for customers, both online and in-person, is at the core of our digital transformation strategy.

“With the addition of Alloy, we’ll be able to still meet regulatory requirements, while ensuring a faster and more seamless onboarding and underwriting process that will benefit both customers and Amerant team members.”
