CEO Insights with Jeffery Kendall

New Thinking

In an industry dominated by towering giants, Nymbus, under the visionary leadership of our Chairman and CEO, Jeffery Kendall, is carving out a niche that legacy systems can't help but notice. During a recent interview, Jeffery shared his philosophy, which challenges how community banks think about technology. He cleverly analogized the evolution in banking technology expectations, "The industry has shifted from the ambition to hand-build a Ferrari to the practicality of driving a BMW off the lot." This shift underscores Nymbus' approach: providing dependable, high-quality solutions tailored to fit the real-world needs of today’s banks and credit unions without burdensome customization that often hampers progress.

New Opportunity

Kendall passionately advocates for a model where efficiency and sustainability are features and foundations.

“In a landscape where being the latest doesn’t last forever, Nymbus positions itself as the BMW of banking technology—exceptional, dependable, and designed to suit real-world needs,” Jeffery remarked.

His perspective is not simply about keeping up but setting a pace that legacy behemoths struggle to match. By focusing on what truly matters—reliability and user-centric design—Nymbus is poised to continue leading community banks and credit unions into a future where the constraints of outdated technology no longer bind them.

New Growth

This bold approach by Jeffery is more than rhetoric; it’s a decisive call to action for financial institutions at a crossroads. Nymbus is spearheading the modernization of banking technology, offering a crucial lifeline to those hampered by legacy systems. We are not just a service provider but partners in transformation, ready to dominate in a field ripe for innovation. This underdog isn't just running in the race; we are setting the pace.

For deeper insights and to hear Jeffery Kendall discuss enhancing bank-core provider relationships, listen to his conversation with Chris Nichols on the Community Bank Podcast. Together, they explore new opportunities for banks to provide differentiating products and solutions to customers, deepening the themes introduced here.

Guardians of Finance

Over the years, there has been an increasing recognition of the need to extend banking services beyond traditional geographical boundaries—especially to meet the needs of underserved communities. Jill Castilla, CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond, leveraged her personal military experiences to launch—ROGER, a digital bank focused on serving military personnel and their families. This initiative goes beyond providing standard financial services; it's a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by those in uniform.

Guided by the principle, "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?"

In partnership with Nymbus, Jill and her team have developed a platform that combines high-quality digital experiences with genuine empathy. The establishment of ROGER answers the critical need for financial solutions specifically tailored to support the lives and sacrifices of military members.

ROGER’s story goes beyond offering a sleek user experience; it’s about forging meaningful connections and supporting an often overlooked community. This graphic novel case study explores the journey of launching ROGER, highlighting the power of empathy in developing new solutions and the importance of leadership in overcoming financial challenges. It is a testament to how personal narratives can inspire impactful products and services in the financial industry.
