VENDOR EVALUATION
Fintech vendor evaluation & selection
From shortlist to signed agreement. Independent evaluation of fintech partners across credit, identity, payments, and embedded finance. Informed by years on the vendor side.
Modern advisory for Banks and Credit Unions.
We help community banks and credit unions evaluate fintech partners, sharpen digital strategy, and adopt AI with confidence. All without the overhead of a Big Four engagement.
What we do
Three areas where community FIs need sharp advisory. And rarely get it.
We focus on the decisions that shape a community Financial Institution's next decade: which fintech partners to bet on, how digital channels should evolve, and where AI actually delivers value rather than noise.
DIGITAL STRATEGY
Digital banking strategy
A roadmap for your digital channels grounded in what peer FIs are actually shipping. Channel benchmarking, prioritization, and a multi-year plan your board can defend.
AI & AUTOMATION
AI & automation strategy
Where AI fits in a community FI, and where it doesn't. Opportunity mapping, vendor landscape, governance framework, and a pilot plan that survives contact with your examiners.
Why Corlux
The decisions fail at industry-wide rates. The perspective to fix them is not industry-standard.
Community FI technology projects fail at rates that hold steady across institutions, vendors, and cycles. We're built on a perspective triangulated against all three sides of the market: inside the bank, selling the platforms FIs run on, and advising the investors funding the next wave.
