Finxact is also powering the bank’s PPP loan portfolio that is helping over ten thousand small businesses, including both new and existing customers. The bank began offering business savings and CDs on the Finxact platform to its growing deposit customer base.

“This is a significant milestone for Live Oak Bank. We have put an incredible amount of energy into recreating the financial services landscape, and a modern core is key to that transformation. As we move forward, the possibilities of what we can build for our customers are endless,” said Chip Mahan, Live Oak Bank Chairman and CEO.
