Big news for community banks navigating today’s compliance and fraud challenges.

Finovifi has announced a strategic partnership with Arcsalus Advisors to bring expert human validation into our AI-driven compliance platform, ComplyPilot.

Through this partnership, financial institutions can move faster with AI while maintaining the confidence that comes from experienced compliance oversight. The new Human-in-the-Loop advisory layer allows banks to submit AI-generated compliance responses, regulatory Q&A, and marketing reviews for expert validation by the Arcsalus team.

The partnership also expands access to ongoing compliance insights, regulatory change alerts, practical reference guides, a centralized regulatory calendar, and advisory support designed to help institutions stay ahead of evolving expectations.

For community banks, the message is simple: AI can accelerate compliance work, but accountability still matters. This partnership brings both together.

Many community banks have spent years modernizing operations, digital banking, fraud controls, and compliance infrastructure.

But when a shareholder asks:
“What are my options if I want liquidity?”

Too many institutions still don’t have a clear process.

As ownership structures age and succession conversations increase, shareholder communication and liquidity planning are becoming strategic issues—not just administrative ones.

Join Finovifi and our partner My Private Shares on May 21 at 10:00 AM CT for a Beyond the Vault webinar:

The Proactive Bank: Getting Ahead of Shareholder Liquidity Before It Becomes a Crisis

We’ll discuss:
• Shareholder liquidity preparedness
• Ownership transition planning
• Communication infrastructure for community banks
• What proactive institutions are doing now before pressure builds

Plus a live client discussion on what prompted action and what implementation actually looked like.

Fraud is not declining. The Federal Reserve’s latest Risk Officer Survey makes that clear.

Debit cards and checks remain major sources of fraud attempts and losses, while faster payments showed the largest year-over-year increase in attempted fraud and reported losses.

For community banks, that points to a hard truth: this is no longer about managing one fraud problem at a time. It is about building a more connected fraud posture across payment channels, account opening, review workflows, and frontline decisioning.

Our latest blog breaks down what the Fed’s findings mean and why layered defenses matter more than ever.

Most community banks don’t have a shareholder liquidity problem…
until they do.

It usually starts the same way—
a call from a shareholder asking about selling shares, transferring ownership, or “what happens if…”

And suddenly, there’s no clear process. No structure. Just pressure.

On May 21 at 10:00 AM CT, join Finovifi and our partner My Private Shares for a Beyond the Vault session:

“The Proactive Bank: Getting Ahead of Shareholder Liquidity Before It Becomes a Crisis.”

We’ll cover:
• What happens when liquidity questions hit and there’s no plan in place
• How banks are building structured communication and shareholder processes
• What “getting ahead of it” actually looks like in practice

Plus, a live client conversation—no slides, no fluff—just what prompted them to act and how they approached it.

If you’re a CEO, CFO, or board member, this is already on your radar… whether you’ve formalized it or not.
