The story

Sun Canyon Bank is a division of Banterra Bank, operating under Banterra's FDIC charter (Certificate 17514) rather than as an independently chartered bank. It functions as a branded retail and small-business banking unit, offering deposit accounts, debit cards, merchant processing via Payroc, and check recovery via Unity FI Solutions. Its embedded finance footprint is limited to third-party partnerships for payment acceptance and check services, consistent with a community bank division model.
