Case snapshot
A tier-1 US bank used Jifiti's platform to scale installment and line-of-credit financing across multiple merchants through a single integration. That lender operates at a different scale than a typical community bank or credit union, as typically served by equipifi, but the same integration model and loan-type breadth are available to smaller institutions.

Built for institutions losing customers to fintech BNPL
Banks of all sizes and credit unions are watching customers and members turn to fintechs and retailer-run BNPL programs for real-time credit. Tier-1 lending technology has historically been priced and built for Tier-1 banks, leaving community banks and credit unions to choose between an expensive build and no digital lending option at all. Jifiti's modular, scalable solution is built for top-tier and smaller financial institutions' needs.
