Pinwheel Arms Jack Henry Clients with the Industry's Leading Account Activation Solution, the Switch Kit, and a New Powerful Bill Management Suite

Community and regional financial institutions can offer accountholders a guided onboarding experience that helps them cut ties with legacy accounts, consolidating their deposits and payments, and embedded bill management features that help them save money on unwanted subscriptions.

NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinwheel, the fintech helping banks win primacy with frictionless activation and engagement experiences, announced today that it has expanded the solutions available on the Jack Henry™ digital banking platform to include its cutting edge Switch Kit and Bill Navigator products.

Pinwheel first announced its collaboration with Jack Henry, making its top performing direct deposit switch solution available to platform customers, in January 2024. Pinwheel leveraged the Banno Digital Toolkit™, the same set of APIs the Banno Digital Platform™ is built on, to embed its technology into the digital experiences offered by community and regional financial institutions. Access to Jack Henry's API, design, and authenticated frameworks has enabled Pinwheel to integrate directly into the digital banking platform, providing a seamless banking experience. This integration contributes to Jack Henry's growing ecosystem of over 950 fintechs, providing approximately 7,500 financial institutions with relevant financial products and services for their account holders.

With the expansion of its solution set, financial institutions on the Jack Henry platform can now easily add bill switching to their onboarding journey. Pinwheel's groundbreaking Switch Kit combines the industry's top performing Direct Deposit Switch solution with their Bill Switch feature, released earlier this year. The Switch Kit is the industry's first solution to comprehensively solve pain points associated with account activation for consumers. Risks associated with transitioning direct deposits and missing critical payments due to funds availability are the top concerns consumers state that prevent them from switching to a better bank. By combining direct deposit and bill switching at account opening, Pinwheel's Switch Kit enables institutions to unseat legacy banking relationships and become their new customer's primary account on day one.

Similarly to how Pinwheel Deposit Switch proactively identifies active payroll records and surfaces them for 2-click switching, Pinwheel Bill Switch connects consumers' external payment accounts and instantly identifies all major recurring bill payments to switch. Consumers are able to easily review upcoming due dates and select when to switch each bill's payment source to their new account - all without leaving their new bank's app experience. These features together empower customers with the transparency and control needed to confidently transition their primary banking relationship without fear of payment disruption.

The Switch Kit makes account activation easy, but that only solves part of consumers' problems. Pinwheel has also enabled its comprehensive bill management suite, Bill Navigator, to help Jack Henry customers drive sticky engagement within their digital banking experience. The share of consumers interested in a subscription-management tool provided through their digital banking app climbed to 87% in the U.S. in 2023, up from 78% in 2022, according to a survey by Datos Insights for Ethoca. Pinwheel Bill Navigator will provide a remarkable customer experience advantage for banks that become early adopters.

Bill Navigator can identify trial subscriptions and their cancellation timelines, proactively notify consumers of upcoming trial expiration dates, and offer consumers the ability to cancel with one click from within a bank's app. Once connected, the Bill Navigator algorithm continuously scans for trials and other types of subscriptions, helping consumers schedule payments aligned to their cash flow, identify opportunities to save money on redundant subscriptions, and easily cancel thousands of the most common subscriptions. Pinwheel's bill detection algorithm currently outperforms all other providers' subscription detection algorithms by at least 20%.

"Consumers' financial needs are increasingly complex. Thus, they are expecting ever more from their primary banking relationship, and they will not hesitate to change banks to get their needs met," said Kurtis Lin, CEO & Co-Founder of Pinwheel. "Undoubtedly banks offering the cutting-edge digital features consumers are clamoring for will be rewarded with primacy and long-term loyalty." 

Pinwheel Switch Kit and Bill Navigator will be live on the Jack Henry digital banking platform this July. To find out how your financial institution can participate, Contact Us Link
