Brian Karimi-Pashaki, Partnerships Lead of Pinwheel, added: “Between traditional financial institutions and neobanks, consumers have many choices. So, we want to help banks and credit unions make their deposit switching process for customers as easy as possible. In a recent survey, we discovered that 72% of consumers say they would be more likely to make a bank their prime bank if it offered Pinwheel Prime at acquisition. That is reason enough to want to get our technology into the hands of as many financial institutions as possible.”
