The investment marks a deeper alignment between two organizations committed to rebuilding the infrastructure that powers partnerships between banks and businesses.
As demand grows for embedded finance, faster time to market, and built-in compliance, Bankers Helping Bankers and NXTMOVES are working together to equip institutions with the tools, guidance, and infrastructure needed to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.
“NXTMOVES is solving real challenges for community banks — challenges that determine how our hometown banks can grow, compete, and thrive in the next decade,” said Tanner Mayo, Co-Founder of Bankers Helping Bankers and President of FedFis. “At a time when community banks are boxed in on revenue opportunities, NXTMOVES opens a new arena — creating real, net-new ways for banks to grow. This investment is a clear message: the future of banking belongs to those who move forward boldly, with innovation and integrity leading the way.”
NXTMOVES provides the operating foundation for modern financial programs—combining issuing, acquiring, and lending capabilities with built-in compliance, reporting, and scalability. The company has worked closely with Bankers Helping Bankers to align its solutions with the highest standards of regulatory transparency and operational rigor.
“We’re proud to have Bankers Helping Bankers as both an investor and a strategic ally,” said Steven Nigri, Co-Founder of NXTMOVES. “Our vision from day one has been to rebuild the connective tissue between banks and the businesses that need access to financial products—without sacrificing trust or oversight.”
In a market increasingly dominated by scale and speed, community banks and modern businesses need the right technology and expertise to stay competitive. This partnership brings together Bankers Helping Bankers’ mission to help banks make more informed technology decisions with NXTMOVES’ ability to connect banks and businesses through a single platform for issuing, payments, and lending—making it easier to launch and scale financial products with integrated program management. Together, they ensure real-world challenges shape the technology, processes, and support systems institutions need to succeed.
