Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. Selects Bangor Savings Bank as Its Banking Services Provider for Its Family Digital Wallet Platform

Financial institutions can now engage non-customers/members by launching a youth banking experience that exclusively showcases their own brand.

BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) (OTCQB: RPMT) announced today that it has selected Bangor Savings Bank as its banking services provider for its youth banking platform. This partnership enables banks and credit unions to attract and engage families who do not currently bank with them by offering a fully white-labeled youth banking app through REGO.

“Financial institutions across the nation are investing heavily in ways to grow their customer and member base, particularly through youth accounts,” said Peter S. Pelullo, CEO of REGO. “By leveraging services provided by Bangor Savings Bank, banks and credit unions can offer families—regardless of where they currently bank—the same features as popular youth banking apps, but entirely within their own brand. Being a first mover in their community with such a product can be a powerful strategy for future growth.”

Parents of Generation Z and Generation Alpha (children between five and 17 years old) are increasingly demanding effective financial literacy tools to help their kids become money-savvy adults. This presents a unique opportunity for banks and credit unions to offer these products within their communities, regardless of existing banking relationships. REGO’s white-labeled youth banking product allows families to manage how their kids earn, spend, save, donate, or even invest, all through a digital experience exclusively branded by their local bank or credit union. Financial institutions can then message parents through REGO’s app to become their customer or member and unlock additional benefits.

“We are thrilled to partner with REGO so they can help financial institutions support future generations in their communities,” said Ryan C. Dumond, SVP and Director of Fintech Partnerships, Bangor Savings Bank. “Since our founding in 1852, Bangor Savings Bank remains committed to innovation in technology, banking products, and services. This collaboration with REGO exemplifies these values, and we look forward the positive impact they will have.”

REGO is the only white-labeled youth banking platform certified to exceed the child data privacy requirements of the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
