The Challenge

Despite its commercial banking strength, City National Bank of Florida was losing visibility to digitally native competitors. Internal teams were ready to test digital channels, but the bank’s legacy systems, strict compliance protocols, and fragmented tech stack made execution difficult. The bank needed a partner who could bring speed, technical fluency, and creative discipline to an industry known for slow, risk-averse processes.
