Nuuvia, the intelligent lifecycle banking platform designed specifically for community banks and credit unions, announced that it closed its second fiscal quarter of 2026 with record results. To support the growth, the company said it continues to scale its operations and internal infrastructure in order to keep pace with rising demand for its youth banking platform.

The announcement highlighted record growth, an expanded senior leadership team and a strategic industry partnership as financial institutions race to win next-generation customers. According to the company, the momentum reflects a broader effort among community institutions to serve entire households rather than individual account holders.

Nuuvia's platform is built to help financial institutions engage Gen Z, Gen Alpha and their families through modern, family-focused digital banking experiences that encourage financial wellness, strengthen household relationships and create lasting loyalty. By enabling institutions to retain deposits, interchange revenue, customer data and engagement, the platform helps community banks and credit unions capture the full value of multigenerational relationships while building lifelong account holder loyalty.

Key performance results reported for the first half of the fiscal year include:

• A 50% increase in the number of community financial institutions (CFIs) signed compared with the prior fiscal year.
• A 142% year-over-year increase in engagement rates among financial institutions using Nuuvia's digital-first youth banking platform.
• A 671% year-over-year increase in deposits.
• Six completed integrations with leading industry partners, including Alkami, CU Leadership and Jack Henry.
• A 136% increase in the number of savings goals established by parents and children within the platform compared with the same timeframe the previous year.
• A 111% year-over-year increase in average savings goal amounts across users.

Nuuvia has also expanded its senior leadership as it scales, adding industry veterans Nate Dudek as chief technology officer, Brian Cooney as vice president of sales and Jennifer Werner as vice president of marketing — hires spanning the technology, sales and market-facing functions connected to the operational growth the company described. In addition, the company earned iKeepSafe COPPA Safe Harbor certification, which validates its practices for handling personal information from children under 13 — a safeguard relevant to a platform built for kids and teens developing financial habits alongside their parents.

"Providing meaningful tools to the next generation is an important investment in the future of our institution," said Jason Belcher, Chief Operating Officer of First Community Bank. "By providing families engaging digital tools to build healthy financial habits, we can establish relationships earlier and strengthen engagement. Nuuvia provides a way to bring financial education to life, while supporting our broader strategic goals of attracting younger account holders and building and growing long-term loyalty."

"We're seeing a fundamental shift in how community financial institutions view youth banking," said Marcell King, CEO of Nuuvia. "It is no longer simply a program for attracting younger customers, it is an important growth strategy for building relationships with entire families and creating a path to the next generation of account holders. We are seeing tremendous engagement from banks and credit unions that want to give families a safe, engaging way to help kids and teens develop real-world financial skills and learn lifelong financial habits, while keeping that relationship within their own trusted brand."

At a time when deposit growth is paramount for community financial institutions, Nuuvia ensures that its clients retain 100% control of deposits, customer relationships, card revenue and data. The company's ready-made youth banking solution is designed to help these institutions attract, retain and educate younger customers by combining supervised spending, savings, financial education and interactive experiences within their existing digital banking environments.

Those first-half figures — CFI signings, engagement rates, deposits and savings activity — are the metrics to track as the company continues the operational scaling it described.
