(“REGO”) (OTCQB: RPMT), provider of a leading white-labeled family financial lifecycle solutions platform, announces significant corporate achievements including market expansion, product innovation, and the continued growth of its executive leadership and advisory board. With adoption of its youth banking product and recent launch of its senior financial management (SFM) solutions, REGO is providing tools to transform how banks and credit unions serve families across multiple generations.
Building the Leading Family Lifecycle Banking Platform
Since 2020, REGO has assembled an accomplished executive team to drive the company’s growth and establish it as a technology leader providing a white-labeled banking solution for financial institutions. The leadership team includes:
Peter S. Pelullo (CEO), Steven Kravit (Head of Product & Operations), and Mark Vanderbeek (CTO) – In 2020, this core team launched REGO’s development of the fully white-labeled banking solutions platform designed for family financial management.
Joe Toczydlowski (CFO) – Joined in 2022 to lead financial strategy, corporate governance, and operational scalability for sustainable growth.
Pawan Murthy (Chief Marketing Officer) – Joined in 2023 to develop REGO’s go-to-market strategy, messaging, and positioning for banks and credit unions, while spearheading channel partner marketing.
James Peil (Head of Sales & Channel Partnerships) – Joined in 2023 to drive sales and revenue growth, while building strategic partnerships with digital banking platforms, core providers, card processors, and other key players in the banking ecosystem.
Through this leadership team’s expertise, REGO has successfully scaled its platform, expanded its banking relationships, and positioned itself as a critical partner to financial institutions seeking to enhance their digital offerings.
Expanding Market Adoption with Innovative Banking Solutions
REGO’s platform is gaining traction with banks and credit unions nationwide through three core products, designed to help financial institutions better serve families:
Youth Banking Product – A fully white-labeled solution that enables financial institutions to offer a branded youth banking experience where parents can track and manage their children’s financial activity. Kids can earn, spend, save, donate, and invest fractionally, all while keeping deposits within the bank or credit union.
Senior Financial Management (SFM) Product – A white-labeled banking solution that protects seniors from financial fraud while giving caretakers and fiduciaries real-time visibility into their loved ones’ financial activity, even if they bank at different institutions. Built on the same secure platform as REGO’s youth banking product, this solution ensures financial institutions retain customer relationships and deepen engagement with aging account holders and their families.
Small Business (Non-FI) Purchase Product (Planned Future Launch) – A forthcoming solution would expand REGO’s reach beyond financial institutions to allow small businesses to issue debit cards to employees or field teams with custom spending limits and retailer-specific restrictions to better manage business expenses.
With access to approximately 80% of the 9,255 financial institutions in the U.S. through strategic partnerships, REGO continues to expand its reach and enhance its platform’s capabilities.
