Apiture Open to accelerate digital transformation and enhance client experience for First Horizon VirtualBank clients

WILMINGTON, NC / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2021 / Apiture, a leading cloud-native provider of digital banking solutions, announced today the migration of First Horizon Bank's digital brand, VirtualBank, to the Apiture Open platform. After merging with IBERIABANK in 2020, Memphis, Tennessee-based First Horizon currently has over $87 billion in assets with 500 branch locations across twelve states.

VirtualBank is First Horizon's digital-only banking experience, which is designed to create a differentiated digital brand for the bank. Through integrations with innovative technology solutions, VirtualBank enables First Horizon to expand its client base by providing a digital-only banking experience to both new and existing clients.
