HUTCHINSON, Kan., July 29, 2025 — DCI, a privately-owned developer specializing in core processing, digital banking, and Fintech processing solutions, is supporting a key partnership between , a community bank based in Washington, and (GC), a leading Fintech platform facilitating commerce in high-risk sectors. This collaboration, which features a direct-to-bank integration with DCI’s banking system, represents a significant achievement for community banks as they navigate the evolving landscape where Fintech, regulatory compliance, and high-growth industries converge.

Under this new alliance, Green Check will manage the digital interface and customer onboarding, while DCI’s iCore360 will enable direct core booking into RiverBank’s systems. This streamlined method ensures the transparency and compliance required by regulators, simultaneously simplifying financial transactions and account management for cannabis-related businesses (CRBs). The partnership allows for real banking functions like ACH transfers, wire transfers, and the introduction of genuine cannabis debit cards, thereby enabling more service providers to engage with the cannabis industry efficiently and in full compliance.

DCI and RiverBank diligently sought out Green Check as the ideal partner, developing a written strategy, presenting it to their board and regulators, and even forming a Fintech committee to guide critical decisions, such as whether to prioritize business or retail sponsorship. Most importantly, they clearly defined their own role as a partner and, consequently, the qualities they sought in a collaborator.

“Our exploration into Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) commenced in 2022, but our priority wasn’t rapid market entry; we aimed to establish a sustainable framework,” stated Chris Davis, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at RiverBank. “DCI’s direct-to-bank approach offered the necessary control and compliance to execute this properly, making our partnership with Green Check, the market leader in cannabis banking, feasible. Now, we can further diversify our revenue streams while simultaneously bolstering our local economy and businesses.”

With its strong foundation in compliance and ongoing guidance from Washington regulators, Green Check was identified as the appropriate partner for RiverBank to enter the underserved yet heavily regulated cannabis banking market.

“RiverBank’s commitment to compliance and adaptability for growth, combined with our platform’s seamless integration capabilities across any core banking system, made this an exemplary partnership for us,” commented Stacy Litke, Vice President of Financial Services at Green Check. “We are dedicated to expanding access to vital financial services for CRBs operating in underserved markets, while actively directing the more than 14,000 cannabis businesses we serve towards our expanding national network of trusted financial institution partners.”

This collaboration represents more than just a success for RiverBank and Green Check; it sets a precedent for the future of Fintech and sponsor banking—integrated at the core, centered on compliance, and driven by clear purpose in every decision.

“DCI’s direct-to-bank methodology for BaaS is what distinguishes us in this sector,” explained Joe Warner, Fintech Sales Manager at DCI. “Our infrastructure supports our commitment to implementing solutions correctly for bankers. At a time of significant change and uncertainty in Fintech, it was crucial not to retract, but to intensify our efforts. This dedication is why we can celebrate the achievements of these partnerships today.”
