“Unwired is not new to mobile banking,” said Patrick J. Kennedy, Jr., President of Subchapter S Bank Association. “In partnership with an industry-leading online banking provider, it has powered mobile-banking applications for community banks since 2011. What the company is doing with Unwired Banking is groundbreaking. We believe it’s critical for our members to have the best, most innovative and affordable mobile-banking platform possible as they compete against the big banks. Unwired Banking gives them exactly what they need at a price community banks can afford.”
Further highlighting the affordability of the platform, Subchapter S Banks and Unwired Nation have announced a discount exclusively for Subchapter S-type banks.
“Unwired Banking can save our members tens of thousands of dollars,” said Kennedy. “We encourage our members to take a serious look at this exciting new mobile banking platform.”
Unwired Banking, the mobile banking platform from Unwired Nation, was announced Oct. 23. Unwired Banking enables community financial institutions to extend their brand and personal banking relationships beyond brick and mortar to their retail customer’s smartphones.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be working with the Subchapter S Banks team. The goals of both organizations are aligned: to help promote and empower community banks,” said Cheré Heintzmann, CEO of Unwired Nation.
Subchapter S Bank Association reaches more than one-third of the addressable market for community banks in the US with its educational and professional outreach.
“Unwired Banking brings community financial institutions the features that their customers are demanding today in a mobile banking app, and will meet their needs for future-forward features like mobile payments and biometric security, all with one revolutionary platform,” said Dana Bowers, founder of iPay Technologies and Digital Compliance, LLC.
“Our brand is important to us,” said Joel Rosenberg, vice president of Valley Bank of Kalispell, Montana. “Unwired Banking will provide the kind of excellent user experience our customers deserve,” said Rosenberg. “They will be able to download it directly from the app store by searching for our bank.

We’re excited to be launching our mobile application powered by Unwired Banking in the near future.”
