Modern Treasury Joins U.S. Bank Connected Partnership Network
Modern Treasury, the operating system for the new era of payments, has announced that it is joining the U.S. Bank Connected Partnership Network.
As we move into a new era for payments with faster rails like the FedNow® Service and more embedded solutions, payment products become a strategic growth lever. For joint customers of U.S. Bank and Modern Treasury, the network makes it easier to connect, embed, and deliver new payment experiences.
“Modern Treasury is thrilled to be among the first batch of partners in the U.S. Bank Connected Partnership Network as we modernize payments for companies large and small,” said Nick Farrow, Head of Bank Partnerships at Modern Treasury. “With the Connected Partnership Network, our joint clients will be able to more efficiently manage their payment and treasury processes.”
The U.S. Bank Connected Partnership Network helps corporate treasury teams easily identify and adopt technology already connected with the bank. Using integrated network partners can help businesses reduce the time and resources needed to implement treasury management services.
“The aim of the Connected Partnership Network is to make it seamless for companies to connect to U.S. Bank and remove friction from the payment experience,” said Anu Somani, head of global payables and embedded payments, U.S. Bank. “With the Network, clients can connect U.S. Bank payments within their own systems, avoiding the need to use numerous platforms.”
Modern Treasury integrates with more than 30 additional banks, including BMO, Goldman Sachs, and the J.P. Morgan Payments Partner Network.

Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GLXY) (TSX: GLXY) today launched GalaxyOne, a financial technology platform offering U.S.-based individual investors to access high yields on fiat cash, alongside crypto and equities trading in a single digital experience. Accredited investors1 can access 8.00% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) through Galaxy Premium Yield2, while all investors can earn 4.00% APY3 on cash deposits and the ability to auto-reinvest earned interest into bitcoin or other supported crypto – all backed by Galaxy's financial expertise, rigorous risk management, and white-glove client service.
"We've spent years building institutional-quality infrastructure to serve the world's most sophisticated investors. Now, we're extending that edge to individuals," said Mike Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Galaxy. "Importantly, GalaxyOne advances our mission of becoming a full-spectrum financial services provider that builds trusted, regulated, and accessible products for all market segments."
GalaxyOne, which is available on mobile (iOS and Android) and online in the U.S., launches with four core products:
- Galaxy Premium Yield 2: Earn 8.00% APY through an investment note issued by Galaxy Digital LP, a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital Inc. and available exclusively to U.S. accredited investors on GalaxyOne. Yield is generated by Galaxy's institutional lending business, active since 2018. Each investment requires a $25,000 minimum and is capped at $1 million per investor with an initial $250 million total investment cap. Interest accrues daily and is paid monthly into the GalaxyOne Cash account.
- GalaxyOne Cash 3: Earn 4.00% APY in a high-yield cash deposit account FDIC insured up to $250,000. Banking services are provided by Cross River Bank, member FDIC.
- GalaxyOne Crypto: Buy, trade, hold and transfer major blue-chip digital assets, including bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), and solana (SOL). Transparent pricing, recurring purchases and real-time execution are available on the platform.
- GalaxyOne Brokerage: Access commission-free trading of more than 2,000 U.S stocks and ETFs in individual brokerage accounts. Retirement accounts (traditional and Roth IRAs) are also available. Fractional share trading is available with a $10 minimum per trade. Clients have the option to earn passive income by lending their eligible stocks through the GalaxyOne Stock Lending program4.
GalaxyOne was originally developed under the name Fierce, which Galaxy acquired in 2024. The platform is led by Zac Prince, Managing Director at Galaxy, alongside the original development team. Fierce's former CEO, Rob Cornish, will continue to support the platform's operations as Chief Technology Officer of Galaxy. GalaxyOne sits alongside GalaxyOne Institutional as part of a unified suite of products, each tailored to client needs, but both built to Galaxy's institutional standards of security, scale, and risk management.
"As technology reshapes how people invest, expectations are clear: more yield, easier access from a single platform, and opportunities that extend beyond traditional boundaries," said Mr. Prince. "GalaxyOne delivers exactly that: a unified opportunity to earn yield on cash, trade crypto, and access U.S. equities, all supported by Galaxy's financial discipline, institutional oversight, and professional team trusted by some of the world's most sophisticated institutions. We have an exciting roadmap ahead and are excited to deliver a differentiated financial experience to our clients. This is just the beginning."
