JACKSONVILLE, FL — March 6, 2025 - Nymbus, a full-stack banking platform for U.S. banks and credit unions, is proud to announce the public launch of ValorFI Heroes in collaboration with Gesa Credit Union. This fully digital, national banking platform is specifically designed to serve multiple member verticals, starting with law enforcement officers, healthcare workers, first responders, educators, veterans, and those who support them through purpose-driven banking and charitable giving opportunities.
“This is a momentous occasion for Gesa Credit Union,” said Don Miller, President and CEO representing ValorFI Heroes. “I am deeply proud of our dedicated team that brought this vision to life and their commitment over the last year with Nymbus. Together, we’re delivering an innovative solution to market—better meeting the evolving needs of people through technological advancements—and making an incredible impact on these hero groups that really shows the power of giving in numbers.”
The ValorFI Heroes difference is amplified with the third party integration of Spiral into the Nymbus banking platform. This charitable giving provider gives ValorFI Heroes and its members multiple ways to donate to 501(c)(3) charities related to affinity groups and track individual and collective contributions natively within the Nymbus online banking experience.
“It was incredibly important to build a system that puts our members in control of when, where, and how they give. Transparency and flexibility were essential,” said Andrew Chung, CIO representing ValorFI Heroes. “The ease of integrations in the Nymbus platform allows us to partner with third parties like Spiral and deliver new, bespoke experiences to our members.”
Thanks to Nymbus’s dynamic theming capabilities, ValorFI Heroes provides a unique affinity group experience across mobile and online banking platforms. This allows branding and messaging flexibility across all member segments and the ability to issue debit cards by affinity group to promote top-of-wallet usage.
“Nymbus is proud to partner with Gesa Credit Union to deliver a bespoke digital banking experience tailored to the unique needs of everyday heroes in our shared communities,” said Nymbus Executive Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Kendall. “By delivering a comprehensive suite of banking solutions customized to their preferences, we are able to honor those who serve our communities while helping Gesa foster deeper, more personalized relationships with its members, who expect a high degree of flexibility and responsiveness from a financial institution.”
