BankTech Ventures announced that it has invested more than $15 million over the past six months in early-stage fintech companies.
BankTech Ventures is a strategic investment fund focused on financial technology companies that deliver value and impact to banks. The firm said its recent investments span priority areas for banks, including deposit growth and retention, revenue diversification, customer experience, operational efficiency, compliance, AI, and stablecoin payments.
The new portfolio companies and follow-on investments include Coinbax, FileJet, Infinant, InvestiFi, SpringLabs, and Immediate.
Coinbax enables trust and assurance in stablecoin payments through smart contracts with built-in risk controls and reversibility. FileJet simplifies entity management through automated compliance, reporting, and real-time tracking.
Infinant provides financial institutions with technology to power digital and embedded finance channels and payments without core replacement. InvestiFi offers a digital “invest from checking” solution designed to help financial institutions retain deposits and account holders while attracting new customers.
SpringLabs uses AI-native automation for post-customer contact management, compliance, and broader governance, risk, and compliance across financial institutions. Immediate provides earned wage access and consumer liquidity solutions directly from financial institutions and through employers.
BankTech Ventures said it evaluated more than 1,000 companies and held nearly as many founder calls in 2025. The firm is currently on pace to exceed that level of activity in 2026.
The firm said its recent investments were made in companies providing technologies that support deeper levels of automation, personalization, speed, and compliance.
BankTech Ventures is entering its fifth year with more than $150 million managed and over 125 participating banks in its ecosystem. The firm focuses on connecting community and regional banks with fintech founders, advocacy organizations, and industry partners to accelerate innovation in banking.
KEY QUOTES:
“We have a unique perspective and advantage as a strategic investor focused on banking technology. As the industry continues to see more capital flow into fewer bigger funds, we’re proud of the focus and value we bring to our ecosystem of more than 125 community and regional banks, as well as our portfolio companies. The investments we’ve made over the past two quarters reflect that – innovative solutions to the problems that are impacting banks the most today.”
Carey Ransom, Managing Director at BankTech Ventures
“Working with the BankTech Ventures team is a no-brainer for any startup building impactful solutions for financial institutions. Their depth of expertise, broad network and true understanding of the needs of community and regional banks have been invaluable to my team as we advance on our mission to improve the quality, consistency and scalability of compliance across financial services. Their backing serves as a vote of confidence in our product and vision, and we’re thrilled to continue this partnership.”
John Sun, CEO and Co-Founder of SpringLabs
“Community banks don’t need more technology vendors, they need partners who understand what they are actually trying to solve. What BankTech Ventures gets right is that the companies they back aren’t just innovative, they’re relevant. As a General Partner at BankTech Ventures, a bank director and founder myself, the ability to provide a seat at the table with the companies shaping the future of our industry, and the ability to learn from and deploy these solutions before they’re widely adopted, is a real competitive advantage for any bank that’s part of the BankTech ecosystem.”
Brian Hamilton, President of Coastal Community Bank and General Partner at BankTech Ventures
