Linker Finance provides a unified, modular platform designed to help community banks grow deposits, streamline onboarding, and deliver white-label mobile and online retail and commercial banking experiences. The platform supports deposit account opening, commercial onboarding workflows, treasury and payments functionality, fraud and identity integrations, CRM and Customer Intelligence tools, and integrations with leading core providers and third-party services. Linker says its turnkey approach enables community banks to launch and go live in as little as eight weeks and is live with more than 10 customers across cores including Fiserv Premier, CSI and FIS (with DCI coming soon). The company is developing an Agentic AI layer called Grandir to help banks understand customer needs, identify growth opportunities, and reduce manual work, and is currently piloting that product. Linker plans to expand its payments rails, including cross-border and stablecoin-enabled capabilities, while continuing product development across retail and business banking. Financially, Linker has raised $8.7 million in total Seed funding following the latest $5 million infusion.

Led · Equity · Apr 2026
Paige offers a guided digital experience for legacy and estate planning that enables individuals and families to organize critical financial and personal information, prepare legal documents such as wills, securely store documents and passwords, and leave messages for loved ones. The company partners with community banks and credit unions to provide legacy planning resources that complement traditional financial services and deepen customer relationships. Paige is positioning itself for demand tied to a large intergenerational wealth transfer (cited at an estimated $124 trillion through 2048). Following the new investment from 22nd State Banking Company, Paige plans to add expanded automation, AI-driven onboarding, and self-service tools to its platform. The company also intends to expand its sales and customer success teams to support adoption among financial institution partners. As part of the investment, 22nd State’s CEO Steve Smith will join Paige’s board to bring community banking expertise to guide growth.
