A partnership between Nymbus and Bud Financial will make AI-powered personal financial management (PFM) solutions available to customers of community banks and members of credit unions.
A full-stack banking platform for banks and credit unions in the US, Nymbus will embed Bud Financial’s suite of personal financial management (PFM) widgets directly into its banking platform. This will give customers and members greater visibility into their finances and equip them with relevant content and financial tools to help them better manage their money. Bud Financial’s transaction data enrichment and AI-driven insights provides categorized, contextual data that enables banks and credit unions to offer more tailored, personalized experiences.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Nymbus as they continue to transform banking for community institutions across the US,” Bud Financial CEO Edward Maslaveckas said. “Together, we’re enabling their clients to move beyond legacy data into a new era of intelligent, insight-driven banking. This collaboration reflects our shared belief that better data leads to better outcomes—for financial institutions and their customers alike.”
Nymbus’ partnership with Bud comes in the wake of the firm’s launch of Nymbus Engage. Engage is a new customer engagement solution designed to help community banks and credit unions use data to build better long-term relationships with their customers and members. Integrating Bud’s PFM tools extends Nymbus’ strategy by empowering financial institutions to offer more personalized initiatives to build customer loyalty. In their partnership announcement, the companies noted that the first Nymbus client deployment powered by Bud Financial is already underway. A wider rollout is expected over the weeks and months to come.
“This integration supports our mission of providing banks and credit unions with the tools they need to grow, differentiate, and deliver modern, personalized banking experiences,” Nymbus CEO and Chairman Jeffrey Kendall said. “Bud’s AI-driven enrichment unlocks a new level of insight from transaction data, and we’re excited to bring this to our clients.”
Founded in 2015, Nymbus is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company has presented its technology at both Finovate’s developer conference, FinDEVr, as well as Finovate’s flagship series, most recently demoing at FinovateFall 2023 in New York. Nymbus offers financial institutions a single, scalable platform that delivers core banking, digital services, lending, onboarding, and analytics.
Bud Financial is the second Finovate alum Nymbus has partnered with this year. The company began 2025 announcing a strategic agreement with Digital Onboarding (FinovateFall 2018) to provide community banks and credit unions with better marketing and analytics capabilities to enhance customer and member engagement.
Making its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2023 in New York and returning a year later for FinovateFall 2024, Bud Financial enriches transactional data to provide actionable insights and readable inputs for large-language models (LLMs) in banking and financial services. The company, headquartered in London, has processed tens of billions of transactions since its launch in 2015.
In addition to its partnership with Nymbus, Bud Financial has also forged partnerships in recent weeks with financial empowerment platform Fruition and adaptive financial infrastructure (AFI) platform XYB. In February, the company introduced its Intelligent Search capability that enables retail banking customers to search their transaction data for insights on spending and proactive suggestions on better money management.
