Why banks and credit unions are making the move
Manual document tracking tends to break down the same way everywhere, no matter what system sits underneath it. Files get scanned but never indexed. Signatures go unchecked until an audit catches them. By the time anyone notices, it's a bigger fix than it should be.
"What we hear most is that institutions want to move faster without stretching their teams thinner," said Shane Asbel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Identifi. "We see it on Fiserv, on Jack Henry, on Corelation, on COCC, it doesn't matter which. For some, that's keeping pace with bigger competitors who already have this kind of technology. For others, it's just getting documents in front of the right person without three people chasing down a file first. Either way, a connected platform gives a five-person team the same speed and visibility as an institution with fifty."
The modules customers are adopting point to where the pressure actually is. Repository and Workflow Enterprise give staff one place to find and move documents instead of tracking them across systems by hand. Electronic Signature cuts the time it takes to close out a file. And for the institutions layering in AI Signature Detection and Links/Alerts, the platform is now catching a missing signature or a stalled document before it turns into a problem, work that used to fall on a person to notice.
None of it requires switching cores first. Identifi connects to what's already running, from Corelation and COCC to Fiserv DNA, Jack Henry SilverLake, and CGI, so the fix layers onto the system already in place.
New customers joining Identifi in the first half of 2026
Growth isn't only about who's new. Sunrise Credit Union in Manitoba, a $2 billion institution serving more than 35,000 members across 19 branches, shows what one implementation can turn into. The relationship started when Sunrise's core provider sunset its ERM system with almost no warning, and Identifi stepped in to replace it.
That first project went smoothly enough that CIO Kelly Scott asked, almost as an afterthought, whether Identifi handled statement services too. Identifi didn't, not yet. It built the capability, came back a year later, and won the business. This year, the relationship expanded a third time: Sunrise added Repository, Workflow, and Track as it moves its full document environment onto Identifi's platform, replacing a legacy system that had reached end of support. "What they say they do, they absolutely do," Scott said.
"What matters isn't how many institutions signed this year. It's why they signed," said Kaushal Pandya, Chief Executive Officer of Identifi. "Sunrise came to us to replace one system that had failed them, and three projects later they're moving their entire document environment onto our platform. That doesn't happen because of a good sales conversation. It happens because the team behind the platform keeps proving it out, one project at a time. Our growth so far in 2026 says less about the count and more about what these institutions are actually getting out of working with us."
Sixteen new institutions and a customer three projects deep tell the same story from two different angles: banks and credit unions aren't just buying a platform, they're building a relationship they plan to keep coming back to.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian forces launched one of their biggest drone attacks on Russia since Moscow’s invasion over four years ago, firing almost 800 drones only two days after a similar salvo, officials said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike on a village in northeastern Ukraine’s Kharkiv region killed at least 10 people and wounded 17 others as the barrage demolished homes, officials said.
The countries are locked in an escalating duel of long-range aerial strikes. Fighting on the roughly 1,250-kilometer (780-mile) front line in eastern and southern Ukraine is restricted by large numbers of drones and ground robots threatening troop movements, and neither side is making significant battlefield progress, analysts say.
In the past year, Ukraine has devised and deployed domestically produced long-range drones for strikes deep inside Russia. Its drone technology has impressed governments and defense manufacturers around the world.
Officials in Kyiv aim to make the Russian public feel the war’s consequences and pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiating a peace settlement. Putin has so far shown no sign he intends to stop the invasion.
“Putin continues to drag out the war instead of accepting Ukraine’s realistic ceasefire proposals and ending the bloodshed,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in a post on X.
Russian air defenses overnight intercepted 791 Ukrainian drones over a number of regions, as well as annexed Crimea and the Black and the Azov seas, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said, in what was the second-largest drone attack since January 2025, according to an Associated Press tally.
More than 600 Ukrainian drones flew toward the Moscow region, where 180 were shot down, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said without elaborating.
Officials reported no deaths or major damage. Ukraine has increasingly launched swarms of hundreds of drones to try to overwhelm Russian air defenses.
In the region that surrounds the capital, three people were wounded, Gov. Andrei Vorobyov said.
Three people were also wounded in the adjacent Ryazan region where three private houses were damaged, Gov. Pavel Malkov said.
The overnight attack started a fire at a warehouse of Wildberries, Russia’s biggest online retailer, in an industrial zone. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted the company, which it says helps supply the Russian military, an allegation Moscow denies.
Wildberries said its facility sustained “insignificant damage.”
Coverage of the attack in state and Kremlin-backed Russian media was mostly muted, as is often the case. Russia’s main TV channels — state-run Russia 1 and Channel One — did not mention the attack at all in their morning news bulletins.
But Russian state news agency RIA Novosti featured it among the main news on its website’s homepage, describing it as “one of the most large-scale attacks on Moscow since the beginning of the summer.”
State newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta on its website prominently featured a roundup of what Moscow regional Gov. Andrei Vorobyov reported about the attack, describing it as “massive” in the headline. Pro-Kremlin tabloid MK featured a news brief about it on its home page.
A Russian missile strike on the village of Pechenihy in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region killed 10 civilians, according to preliminary information, said Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration.
Another 17 people were wounded, he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it “a brutal attack” that damaged 10 homes, a cafe, a post office, a store and at least seven vehicles, according to Syniehubov.
“We will definitely respond to this Russian strike,” he said on social media.
Also, three people were killed and three others were wounded over the past day in Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Sumy region, Ukraine’s National Police said.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who took office last month, said the U.K. will continue to stand by Ukraine after Russia said that Kyiv’s reported use of British drones for attacks on Russian soil would bring unidentified consequences.
“We are providing support so that Ukraine can defend itself, and that’s been the British position all the way through this conflict by previous prime ministers," Burnham said. “It remains the case with me.”
British newspaper The Sunday Times reported that two U.K. companies made drones used by Ukraine to hit Russia.
Following the report, the Russian Embassy in the U.K. said in a statement that “London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russian state TV that Moscow has the right to view British involvement in strikes on Russian territory as “participation in the war, with all the ensuing consequences.”
