The Newtek Bank is currently pending regulatory approvals and the close of the acquisition of the National Bank of New York City (NBNYC). Newtek plans to leverage Apiture’s Business Banking and Account Opening solutions in combination with Newtek’s existing suite of business and finance solutions and the Newtek Advantage to deliver a suite of financial and business solutions and services to independent business owners.
Newtek previously announced an agreement to acquire NBNYC, a nationally chartered bank, and to reposition Newtek as a bank holding company with financial holding company status, pending regulatory approvals. As part of this transition, Newtek chose Apiture, to power online and mobile banking for its new digital brand as it creates a technology-enabled bank for independent businesses. Newtek has been working with Apiture for several months to prepare for the opening of Newtek Bank, subject to regulatory approval and the close of the acquisition.

In July 2022, Apiture has announced the closing of a USD 29 million fundraising round led by Live Oak Bank, with participation from other existing investors.The investment brings the total funding raised by Apiture to USD 69 million since its inception in 2017.
Apiture uses the capital to expand its sales and marketing efforts, accelerate product development initiatives, and meet the market demand for the Apiture Digital Banking Platform, which serves more than 300 banks and credit unions throughout the US.
Apiture has gained industry recognition following the introduction of the Apiture Digital Banking Platform in February 2022. Rather than maintaining its Apiture Xpress and Apiture Open platforms, the company has combined the strengths of both into one product, Apiture Digital Banking Platform, composed of five features its bank and credit union clients can brand and offer their customers.
