On May 13, 2025, Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) unveiled an informative webinar titled "Innovating Account Opening & Onboarding with Alkami + MANTL," scheduled for May 20, 2025, at 12:00 PM CT. This event will showcase insights from industry experts, including representatives from Quontic Bank, to discuss how financial institutions can modernize their onboarding and account opening processes amid increasing competition.

2. The Need for Innovation

The announcement comes at a crucial time when consumer preferences are rapidly evolving. Recent research commissioned by Alkami revealed that 58% of digital banking users expressed a strong interest in obtaining a debit or checking account, while 35% were keen on securing a savings account within the next year. As digital disruptors continue to gain traction in the banking sector, traditional financial institutions are under pressure to enhance their onboarding experiences to attract and retain both retail and business customers.

"Consumer expectations are shifting, and financial institutions must provide a seamless journey across all channels—whether in-branch, online, or through direct communication with relationship managers," stated Alkami in their press release.

3. Expert Panelists and Insights

The webinar will feature a panel of experts, including:

Taylor Adkins, Vice President of Product Management at Alkami

She further emphasized the synergy between MANTL and Alkami’s Digital Banking Platform, which has significantly accelerated their growth.

4. Combined Strengths of Alkami and MANTL

The integration of MANTL's solutions with Alkami's technology has created a powerful digital sales and service platform. Key benefits discussed during the webinar will include:
