Customers Bank (NYSE: CUBI), a digital-first, fintech-forward financial institution with a growing national presence, today announced its nationwide collaboration with MaxMyInterest (Max)*, an intelligent cash management platform for individual clients and financial advisors.

"Customers Bank has demonstrated a commitment to innovation, and we are proud to welcome them to the Max platform," said MaxMyInterest Founder and CEO Gary Zimmerman. "As a result of this collaboration, which leverages our patented Max Common Application, Max members can now earn an even higher yield on their cash in just a few clicks – without switching banks – while remaining confident their cash is FDIC-insured and same-day liquid."

In an age when high net worth clients expect to bank when, where, and how they like, the clear winners are digital platforms that offer convenience, speed, security and access to the best financial products. Max represents an attractive way for individual clients to earn a higher yield on their cash. By utilizing industry-leading rapid account-opening technology, this integration allows Max members to open and begin funding an FDIC-insured Customers Bank high-yield savings account in less than one minute.

"We are pleased to be among a select group of partner banks on the Max platform. The collaboration with Max is the next step in our strategy to partner with market-leading fintech service providers to pioneer innovative financial products and services,” commented Customers Bank Vice Chairman & Chief Operating Officer Sam Sidhu. "The CB Max Savings account is one of our newest accounts designed to help our clients achieve their short- and long-term financial goals.”

Max helps depositors seamlessly and automatically distribute cash balances among multiple bank accounts, automatically seeking the highest yields, even as rates change. With Max, clients can earn more on their deposits through highly competitive yields while simultaneously benefitting from greater aggregate FDIC insurance coverage, one-click funds transfers, and consolidated tax reporting.

This year, Customers Bank partnered with several fintechs to participate in more than 108,000 SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loans nationwide with an aggregate value of more than $5.2 billion. In 2015, Customers Bank launched BankMobile to provide a compliant, mobile-first banking experience that is simple, affordable, and consumer-friendly.
