About the company

ModernFi helps banks and financial institutions manage funding and balance sheets. It provides advisory services and allocates funds to FDIC-member banks, guiding funding markets and asset-liability management. The process involves offering insights, controls, processes, monitoring, and educational materials to help clients conduct due diligence and manage third-party risks, while charging consulting, management, and performance-based fees. ModernFi is not a bank and does not offer deposits; instead, it works with FDIC-insured banks to support their funding needs. The company differentiates itself by focusing on specialized funding-market strategies for institutional clients and by combining advisory services with fund allocation to optimize balance sheets and regulatory compliance. Its goal is to simplify complex funding and ALM topics for banks, helping them improve financial health while managing risk.

What believers are saying

  • The July 2026 portal upgrade improves speed, mobile support, and white-label adoption.
  • Gale Simons-Poole joined July 2026, strengthening regulatory relationships and enterprise risk programs.
  • The September 2025 Series B raised over $60 million, funding expansion and compliance.

What critics are saying

  • ModernFi depends on reciprocal-deposit regulation; NCUA or OCC shifts can shrink demand fast.
  • Banking incumbents like Q2 can bundle similar sweep tools and squeeze ModernFi's pricing.
  • Any deposit-network control failure would trigger regulatory scrutiny and destroy trust across 146 credit unions.

What makes ModernFi unique

  • ModernFi CUSO serves 146 credit unions across 41 states as of August 2026.
  • NCUA confirmed reciprocal deposits are permissible for federally insured credit unions on March 18, 2026.
  • ModernFi launched branded portals and white-labeling for banks and credit unions in July 2026.

NBID launches real-time handling for $500B reciprocal deposit market, ending lost interest days

NBID, a bank-owned deposit network, has launched real-time transaction handling for reciprocal deposits. Depositors at member banks can now earn interest the same day they deposit funds. Most providers use T+1 processing, so depositors often miss a day of interest. NBID has moved the roughly $500bn US reciprocal market from T+1 to T accrual, it said. NBID's ledger stays in sync with each bank's core system, so statements and interest accruals match, month-end included. Banks need not change their processes. ModernFi, NBID's network operator, led the technology development. Banks integrated with Fiserv through Communicator Open receive the feature automatically. Those using Jack Henry, FIS, or custom SFTP/API integrations can set it up through their Regional Director. NBID has over 870 member banks.

Reminder: an upgraded NBID Admin Portal is coming July 19.

Reminder: an upgraded NBID Admin Portal is coming July 19. | Upgraded Admin Portal Launches July 19 July 16, 2026 | | On Sunday, July 19, ModernFi, Inc. is launching an upgraded Admin Portal for the NBID network. In light of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, reciprocal deposits have been solidified as critical infrastructure and the long-term solution for banks to insure large-balance depositors. NBID was founded with the belief that this infrastructure should be owned and managed by the banks that power it, and that Insured Sweep Accounts are your product, not a third-party vendor's. The improvements to the Admin Portal further deliver on that premise. Bank-Owned, Bank-Branded Infrastructure You will now be able to white-label your depositors' experience directly from the Admin Portal with your bank's logo, colors, and custom web address (e.g., yourbank.nbid.com). Configure these elements starting July 20th and they will take effect as soon as the following week when the updated Depositor Portal is launched. Depositor access will still be possible through accounts.modernfi.com with no changes necessary. What Else is New? * New address: Starting Monday, July 20, you can access the Admin Portal through portal.nbid.com, the network's new default domain, though access is still possible through portal.modernfi.com with no changes necessary. * Floating & tiered rates: Configure floating and tiered interest rate schedules for your sweep program directly in the portal. * A faster, refreshed portal: The portal has been rebuilt from the ground up. You'll find the same screens, tools, and workflows you use today, just faster and more responsive. * Ability to edit and rearrange table views, and save them to your preferences. What's Not Changing? * Your login: Your existing email, password, and MFA setup carry over. No password reset is required. If your institution uses SSO, that experience continues uninterrupted. * Your workflows: Every page and function you use today is preserved. When Will This Happen? * Sunday, July 19 (evening): Brief maintenance window while ModernFi, Inc. complete the upgrade * Monday, July 20: New portal live at portal.nbid.com * Week of July 26: Upgraded Depositor Portal launches (separate communication to follow) If you have any questions, please reach out to your Regional Director or [email protected]. | | NBID LLC is not a bank. Deposit insurance covers the failure of insured institutions, not NBID. Deposits are placed at FDIC-insured network institutions and are eligible for pass-through insurance up to $250,000 per institution. Certain conditions must be satisfied for "pass-through" FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply.

Through her time working with banks at the FDIC and Promontory, she has gained unique insight into the challenges financial institutions face of managing business risk and evolving technology solutions.
