ANN ARBOR, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Community Bankers of Michigan (CBM), an association of independent community banks based in Michigan, has endorsed Plinqit, the only savings platform of its kind that pays users for learning about personal finances.
Plinqit earned its endorsement from CBM for giving community banks an easy way to provide customers with intuitive digital tools and educational resources that are designed to improve their personal finance skills, establish healthy saving habits and achieve greater financial wellness. Plinqit’s endorsement from CBM is a testament to the company’s strong reputation with the financial services industry as a proven, reliable fintech partner for community banks.
“As a fintech company based here in Michigan, our team at Plinqit is honored to receive this endorsement from the Community Bankers of Michigan,” said Kathleen Craig, founder and CEO of Plinqit. “Community banks can serve as powerful advocates for customers by helping them make the best personal finance decisions possible to achieve sustained financial health in spite of current economic challenges, such as inflation. Plinqit aims to reduce the barriers holding individuals back from a more positive financial future and we anticipate more community banks will leverage our technology to empower their customers to reach their goals.”
With Plinqit’s patented Build Skills™, community banks enable their customers to interact with educational content and get paid for learning new financial skills, helping grow their savings.
