CSI, a financial software provider, has acquired Qolo, a fintech specialising in treasury solutions and payments infrastructure. The acquisition strengthens CSI's commercial banking offerings, helping community financial institutions provide flexible deposit structures, intelligent money movement, and expanded card programmes. The deal extends CSI's reach across the fintech and payments ecosystem. Together, the companies aim to help community banks compete with larger institutions by offering modern commercial banking capabilities. Qolo's technology will serve as an orchestration layer across payments, accounts, and workflows, integrating with CSI's existing platforms. The acquisition advances CSI's vertical banking strategy, enabling community banks to deliver industry-tailored solutions. Qolo also serves fintech and B2B payments providers, which will benefit from CSI's scale and compliance expertise. Patricia Montesi, Qolo's co-founder and CEO, noted the blurring line between traditional banking and embedded finance as a key industry challenge the combined entity will address.

CSI, a financial software provider, has launched Customer Intelligence Suite, an AI-powered solution designed to help financial institutions deepen customer relationships through data-driven insights. The platform synthesizes information from core banking, digital channels, payments and third-party sources to identify meaningful changes in customers' financial lives. The suite uses AI-driven signals to surface opportunities in real time, such as detecting recent graduates needing savings accounts or businesses requiring working capital. For commercial clients, it identifies cash flow trends and readiness for treasury services or lending products. Integrating data from CSI's portfolio, including Apiture and Velocity analytics, the insights are embedded directly into CSI NuPoint CRM and banking channels. CSI will enroll customers in a pilot programme in Q3 2025, with general availability planned for Q4 2026.
