  • The partnership enables financial institutions to accept and post payments across channels via a single streamlined platform, reducing exceptions and operational overhead.

  • The collaboration supports Kinective’s expansion in the fintech ecosystem, serving over 4,000 financial institutions nationwide.

Financial institutions increasingly seek ways to modernize payment acceptance amid growing member expectations for frictionless, multi-channel experiences. Traditional core integration challenges often delay fintech adoption and increase complexity. Kinective Gateway addresses this by providing secure, turnkey connectivity that removes barriers for solutions like PayNearMe’s PayXM™.

Simplified Core Integration for Fintech Innovation

Kinective Gateway’s prebuilt APIs allow PayNearMe to connect PayXM™ directly to core banking systems without custom development. This enables faster rollout of modern payment capabilities to thousands of banks and credit unions, supporting accelerated cash flow, fewer exceptions, quicker reconciliation, and enhanced operational efficiency.

Comprehensive Multi-Channel Payment Support

Through PayXM™, financial institutions gain a unified platform for accepting payments via digital wallets, cards, ACH, and in-person cash options at extensive retail networks. This broad coverage helps reduce operational burdens while delivering a consistent, member-first experience across every payment touchpoint.

“Kinective Gateway accelerates our ability to bring Payment Experience Management to thousands of financial institutions," said Bruce Gaskill, Senior Director of Integration Partnerships at PayNearMe. "With PayXM easily integrated into core banking systems, financial institutions can transform every touchpoint in the payment journey to reduce operational overhead and deliver a modern, member-first experience.”

"Our partnership with PayNearMe demonstrates how Kinective Gateway accelerates go-to-market strategies and drives innovation for fintechs by eliminating the traditional and often complex barriers to core banking integrations," said Dan Snyder, EVP of product at Kinective. “Instead of spending months, if not years, building into each core’s middleware APIs, PayNearMe can now easily connect its modern payment solutions to thousands of financial institutions.”
