Apiture, a leading provider of digital banking solutions, has been recognized as the “Best SMB/SME Banking Solution” at the 2025 Finovate Awards. This program honors the financial institutions and companies driving fintech innovation forward and the individuals bringing new ideas to life.
The Apiture Business Banking solution helps community banks and credit unions deliver a modern, intuitive online and mobile experience to businesses of all sizes.

“The 2025 Finovate Awards are all about recognizing solutions that don’t just follow trends, but truly move the industry forward,” said Greg Palmer, VP and Director of Fintech Strategy at Finovate. “Apiture exemplifies that spirit of innovation with a platform that’s thoughtful and powerful, helping financial institutions meet the demands of modern business banking while staying agile, personal, and connected to their communities. That’s the kind of impact we love to celebrate.”
Apiture’s 250+ clients benefit from the company’s proven record of reliability. In 2024, the platform delivered 99.99% availability — less than seven minutes of downtime all year — ensuring account holders have uninterrupted access to digital banking whenever and wherever needed. Business Banking is integrated with the platform’s Consumer Banking solution, providing businesses with access to both retail and business accounts with a single login.
“Being named a winner in this year’s Finovate Awards is a tremendous honor, reflecting our mission to empower community banks and credit unions with the solutions they need to compete with the largest U.S. banks,” said Chris Babcock, CEO at Apiture. “We are proud to deliver a premium business banking solution that supports the growth and long-term success of our clients.”
