Each year, the Narmi Innovation Awards recognize financial institutions that are raising the bar in digital banking, growth, and community impact. This year, we’re proud to celebrate three customers whose teams stood out for their execution, creativity, and commitment to serving their communities.

Congratulations to Peak Credit Union, Northeast Bank, and UFCU on these well-deserved honors.

Instant Impact Award: Peak Credit Union

Peak Credit Union earned the Instant Impact Award for an exceptional implementation and a consistently thoughtful approach to product use.

From day one, Peak’s team moved quickly and with precision, ensuring their business account opening launch was thoroughly tested and ready for success. Their feedback during implementation helped shape enhancements that now benefit other credit unions as well. Beyond go-live, Peak continues to push the platform forward, using advanced features like Personas, bundles, and eligibility questions to streamline the applicant experience and reduce friction and fraud.

Their partnership reflects what this award is about: strong execution, collaboration, and results.

Growth Accelerator Award: Northeast Bank

Northeast Bank received the Growth Accelerator Award in recognition of their outstanding work driving deposit growth.

Through a focused strategy and disciplined execution, the Northeast Bank team demonstrated how digital account opening and marketing can become a true growth engine. Their results stood out among this year’s submissions and made them a clear choice for this honor.

We’re excited to continue supporting their momentum as they scale.

Community Champion Award: UFCU

UFCU was named the Community Champion Award winner for their leadership in expanding access through Spanish-language support.

By prioritizing translation and accessibility, UFCU is helping more members engage confidently with digital banking. Their work reflects a deep commitment to inclusion and community service. and shows how technology can be used to meet people where they are.

We’re grateful to partner with institutions like these that continue to innovate, serve their communities, and set a higher standard for digital banking. Congratulations again to all three teams on this recognition, and thank you for letting Narmi be part of your journey.
