Signature Bank Partners with Q2 for Banking Upgrade
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
Signature Bank selected Q2 Holdings to drive its next stage of digital transformation, combining technology with a continued focus on customer relationships.
Q2 is a provider of digital solutions for financial institutions, helping banks and FinTechs deliver consistent services across channels. Its platform offers integrated fraud prevention tools and the Q2 Innovation Studio — enabling banks to work directly with FinTech partners to enhance customer engagement.
Signature Bank, headquartered in New York, built its reputation serving middle-market businesses and wealthy clients with a personalized, team-based approach. The bank was also one of the few U.S. banks to embrace crypto early, operating the Signet payment platform for blockchain-based transactions.
With Q2, Signature Bank gains a flexible, device-agnostic platform designed to unify its retail and commercial banking experience — a strategic step toward scaling its services while preserving its customer-first culture.
“We really needed a ubiquitous, device-agnostic platform to deliver a consistent, 360-degree experience,” said Signature Bank’s SVP Penny Foust.
Anthony Ianniciello, Q2’s VP of Product Management, added: “Signature Bank has built a reputation as a commercial bank that focuses heavily on service and relationships. We are excited to enable them to extend this commitment to their customers through a personalized digital banking experience.”
