CBAO selects DigiHive™ digital banking for member banks

Recognizing the critical role digital banking solutions will play in the future, the Community Bankers Association of Oklahoma recently voted to endorse DigiHive™ digital banking by SHAZAM^®.

“This choice reinforces our trust in SHAZAM as a partner that does more than deliver technology to community banks," said CBAO President and CEO Craig Buford. "SHAZAM's member-owned structure gives us the confidence that decisions are made with our best interests in mind.”

DigiHive™ digital banking brings essential services together in a single, unified experience designed to be easy for accountholders to use and efficient for financial institutions to manage. Its intuitive navigation, advanced security controls, flexible user management and robust reporting work together to increase engagement, improve operational efficiency and build lasting accountholder trust. The result is a modern digital banking experience that supports adoption and drives growth for community banks.

This expanded endorsement reflects CBAO's confidence in SHAZAM's proven commitment to the community banking industry. SHAZAM offers solutions across every aspect of community banking, including a high-performing debit card program, an independent payments network designed to maximize net interchange income and a core banking platform.

“SHAZAM continues to expand the number of community banks we serve across Oklahoma, and our partnership with CBAO is essential to understanding the long-term needs and goals of our member banks,” said SHAZAM Executive VP & CBO Jace Day.

Community banks gain added value from SHAZAM’s unique structure and commitment to its business partners. Owned by the financial institutions it serves, SHAZAM gives community bankers a voice — and a vote — in the organization’s direction. And because SHAZAM has no shareholders to answer to, profits are reinvested in products and services that help its partners succeed. Community bankers also benefit from direct access to SHAZAM experts and a client services team that resolves more than 95% of service calls the same day.

SHAZAM endorsements and the endorsement process

Bank associations and credit union leagues across the country recognize SHAZAM’s member-owned structure as the foundation for how the organization serves and advocates for community financial institutions. It’s one reason state associations endorse SHAZAM and form strategic alliances with the organization.

These endorsements go beyond product alignment. They reflect rigorous due diligence processes that evaluate financial stability, security, compliance and long-term industry fit.

When an association recommends SHAZAM, it signals to members that they can trust a proven partner to deliver reliable payments, fraud prevention and operational solutions. It also reflects SHAZAM’s commitment to supporting the association’s mission through advocacy, education and engagement.

These partnerships are not one-time arrangements. They are continuously reviewed to ensure endorsed partners continue to meet the highest standards. Through these strategic alliances, SHAZAM provides secure, scalable solutions designed to help financial institutions meet evolving industry demands and support long-term growth.
