Mobile banking personalisation firm Finotta has signed a partnership with US-based $12.5bn privately held bank First United Bank & Trust.

The tie-up will see Finotta launching its Personified platform to the First United’s digital banking customers.

This platform comprises a range of products that allows financial institutions to better serve their customers directly in their mobile banking application.

It also provides a gamified financial health score to help users improve their financial life and access to a financial journey manager for personalised guidance and recommendations.

First United regional bank president Ryan Suchala said: “We are so proud of what our partners at Finotta are doing for the financial industry. This partnership with Finotta will support First United’s vision to elevate 10 million lives by the year 2030.”

Finotta CEO and founder Parker Graham said: “First United saw the new world of banking we wanted to create, and it turns out they wanted to create it with us. From day one, they have been the perfect partner, investor, and advisor.”
