The story
DCI is a decades-old core banking technology provider for community banks in the United States. Originally a traditional core processor, DCI has evolved its platform toward a modern, cloud-based, open-API architecture branded 'Direct to Bank', positioning itself as a BaaS enablement layer for community banks seeking to become sponsor banks or launch digital branches. The partnership with Atomic signals a move to extend the value chain into fintech-grade features like digitalized direct deposit, keeping community bank clients competitive with neobanks.
