The story

ZYNLO Bank was launched in May 2020 as a digital-only division of PeoplesBank, a 135-year-old Massachusetts community bank, to attract younger, digitally-native consumers nationwide with high-yield, fee-free accounts. The bank's technology stack is powered by Nymbus Inc. as the program partner, which manages ZYNLO accounts on behalf of PeoplesBank. In 2024–2025, PeoplesBank deepened its Nymbus partnership by launching employer-focused digital banking products and completing a full core banking migration to Nymbus Core, positioning itself as a digital-first community bank using embedded finance infrastructure rather than building in-house.
