Grow Financial Credit Union Chooses MANTL to Elevate the Member Experience

Addition of MANTL’s Onboarding & Account Opening Solution will streamline retail account opening across channels

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) (“Alkami”), a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced that Grow Financial Credit Union (Grow Financial) is advancing its digital banking strategy by expanding its partnership with Alkami, adopting its Onboarding & Account Opening Solution (MANTL). This will enable the credit union to streamline its digital and in-branch retail account opening processes, eliminating friction for members and staff alike.

“At Grow Financial, our goal is to make banking easier and more intuitive for our members,” said Jared Barr, chief experience officer at Grow Financial. “We’re focused on removing friction, leveraging data intelligently, and ensuring that members never have to provide information we already know. The integration of MANTL into the Alkami Platform will help us deliver on that promise while supporting our vision for a truly connected experience.”

For Grow Financial, the adoption of MANTL is part of a larger effort to align technology and strategy around the member experience. The credit union’s goal is to create a consistent, seamless process that meets members where they are, whether online, in the branch, or in the field. With MANTL, Grow Financial will empower retail members to open a new deposit account in five minutes or less online, and within ten minutes in-branch. Existing Grow Financial members will be able to open additional accounts in just a few clicks. This alignment also supports internal efficiencies, helping staff provide faster, more informed service while maintaining a personal connection.

“Grow Financial exemplifies the forward-thinking institutions redefining digital banking,” said Taylor Adkins, vice president, product management at Alkami. “By adopting MANTL within the Alkami Platform, they are unifying account opening and digital banking into a single experience. We are proud to partner with such an innovative credit union that continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible.”
