Washington, D.C., May 12, 2020 – Bank Director, the leading information resource for senior executives and board members of financial institutions nationwide, today announced updates to 

its online platform, FinXTech Connect, in an effort to make it easier for U.S. banks to discover proven technology solutions.

And newly released from FinXTech Connect, quarterly FinXTech Intelligence Reports spotlighting key technology trends and corresponding providers. The inaugural report focuses on the new opportunities bank’s can gain through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).
