Banno’s New Solution Eases Cross-Channel Headaches for FIs

Today, mobile app and website provider,Banno (formerly T8 Webware), announced that all websites it develops will be optimized for any type of device, regardless of screen size.

Its new, responsive design format offers a single URL that reacts to screen sizes of online, mobile, and tablet devices. This device agnostic approach will help FIs prepare for multi-channel banking.

The new websites also save time on updates:

“Furthermore, the websites now have a live data feed that updates rates based on predetermined formulas, assuring that accurate rates are published across channels instantaneously without the man hours of monitoring and making adjustments previously required.”

Banno also introduced dynamic website content. With this feature, the content that users see will change depending on the user’s historical searches, clicks and preferences.

T8 Webware Changes Name to Banno

Iowa company, T8 Webware, announced today that it has changed its name to Banno to reflect the company’s broadened focus on the digital channel.

It will be expanding beyond its first product, Grip (unveiled at FinovateFall 2011), and has plans to release additional products in the next 6 months.

Banno is not only growing its suite of solutions, but also its staff. In 2011, its number of employees grew by almost 30% and it plans to add over 20 employees in the next three years.

The unique name, Banno, comes from the imaginary friend of CEO Wade Arnold’s son:

“During a conversation of trying to figure out finances, Arnold’s son suggested he ask Banno, his imaginary friend. Asking Banno became the driving force behind Arnold’s passion to solve financial problems.”

This story illustrates the drive to have a clear understanding of finances and Arnold says its what drives the company.
