Capstack Technologies – the first bank-to-bank marketplace designed to mitigate asset risk – announced it had raised a strategic investment from Citi Ventures, driving a significant milestone in its goal to transform banking technology.
This funding round is a testament to Capstack Technologies’ innovation following a successful $6 million fundraising last summer. This funding round coincided with establishing a high-profile advisory board and adding experienced executives from community and regional banks, propelling Capstack Technologies into a new era of growth and market leadership.
Capstack Technologies is leading the way with its first bank-to-bank marketplace, which promotes transparency, collaboration, and efficiency among small and medium-sized banks. This initiative aligns with the U.S. financial sector’s imperative for reducing concentration risk.
Capstack Technologies formed an advisory board comprising industry veterans Trey Maust, Chairman of Lewis & Clark Bancorp, Patrick Kennedy, Executive Chairman of TransPecos Banks and Dub Sutherland of Kennedy Sutherland LLP. And these advisors bring a wealth of experience in banking, law, and financial technologies, guiding Capstack Technologies’ strategic direction in the banking sector.
Capstack Technologies is also enhancing its leadership team with David McArdle as Head of Banking Relationships and Randy Riffle as Head of Customer & Platform Operations. McArdle will focus on streamlining processes for C-suite executives in community banks. And Riffle will lead the charge in transforming operational efficiencies and focusing on positive customer experiences.
