Q2 holdings launch Q2 code to expedite digital banking innovation

By Parth Prabhudesai

Q2 Holdings has launched Q2 Code, a governed AI-powered development environment designed to help financial institutions and partners build extensions and integrations more efficiently on the Q2 Digital Banking Platform.

Built for teams using Q2 Innovation Studio, Q2 Code enables developers to convert natural language prompts into SDK-compliant extensions. The solution integrates generative AI directly into the development workflow, significantly reducing the time required to deliver digital banking features—from weeks to just days—while maintaining strict governance and security standards required in the financial sector.

Q2 Code leverages Claude via Amazon Bedrock to provide enterprise-grade generative and agentic AI capabilities. It allows developers to generate, test and refine code aligned with platform APIs and best practices without manually navigating complex documentation or configuring development tools.

Adam Blue, Chief Technology Officer at Q2, said: “AI represents the most significant development in technology since digital banking became mainstream. With Q2 Code, we’re embedding AI directly into the SDK to drive innovation and help institutions build faster while maintaining the trust and resilience they require.”

John Kain, Director of Financial Services Market Development at Amazon Web Services, added: “With Q2 Code, Q2 is enabling developers to innovate faster and more efficiently while meeting the rigorous requirements of the financial services industry.”

Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union will serve as an early adopter through the platform’s Early Access program, which is set to expand through 2026. The initiative will allow participants to test the platform in real-world scenarios and provide feedback ahead of broader rollout.

Q2 Code is also being deployed internally across Q2’s product and engineering teams to support the full software development lifecycle, from ideation to production.
