Helping Main Street Thrive: The Power of Community Bank + Fintech Collaboration

Fintech for Community Banks

Community banks have always been the trusted partners who know their business customers by name, understand their goals, and genuinely care about their success. But as technology evolves and business becomes increasingly digital, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are looking for more than personalized service. They need modern solutions that help them grow, compete, and thrive in their local communities and beyond.

That’s where fintech partnerships make all the difference—and where Celero Commerce helps bridge the gap between tradition and innovation. 

Stronger Together: How Celero Empowers Community Banks

Celero partners with community banks to help them deliver cutting-edge fintech and business intelligence solutions to their small business clients, without sacrificing the trust and personal connection that make community banking special.

Through Celero’s Financial Institution programs, banks can strengthen relationships with commercial depositors, grow non-interest income, and expand their value proposition with flexible, scalable payment processing and technology solutions.

Whether you want to refer merchants and earn residual income, or offer white-labeled payment solutions under your own brand, Celero gives your institution the tools, technology, and support to serve your business customers at the highest level.

Fintech That Levels the Playing Field

For local businesses, fintech is the great equalizer. By equipping Main Street merchants with the same advanced payment and data tools as Fortune 500 companies, your bank can help them:

  • Accept payments anywhere: online, in-store, or on the go.
  • Access real-time reporting and analytics to make smarter business decisions.
  • Streamline operations with bundled SaaS solutions and integrated payment platforms.
  • Stay secure and compliant with Celero PCI® protection.
  • Leverage business intelligence with CeleroBI®, providing insights that drive growth and profitability.

With tools like Connect® Gateway, Streamline®, and Compass®, Celero helps community banks deliver confidence, innovation, and a competitive edge to local businesses.
