Nymbus builds digital banking solutions that help community banks and credit unions succeed
Consumers and companies now expect digital banking to deliver more than just online access to traditional branch banking services . Nymbus helps community banks and credit unions enter the digital banking market through a full suite of applications , operational resources , and strategic guidance to modernize and optimize existing channels .
With its all-in-one platform , Nymbus works with clients to quickly launch boutique banks for specialized customer segments – and at a lower cost than custom solutions .
“ A lot of organizations are starting digital banks , but they ’ re not all successful . They can especially struggle at differentiating themselves in a quickly growing market ,” said Larry McClanahan , Chief Product Officer ,
However , Nymus did not own its digital banking platform , restricting its flexibility to develop specialized features for clients and maintain a growing portfolio of these customizations .
“ When we decided to bring our core platform inhouse , we decided to take a modular containerized approach to give us the desired flexibility and simplify management by maintaining customization as configurations ,” said McClanahan .

After extensive market research , Nymbus selected Red Hat OpenShift as the foundation of its new , in-house approach , running on Nutanix HCI , a hyperconverged infrastructure ( HCI ) solution from Red Hat ’ s partner .
