Stearns Bank Selects Spiral to Empower Communities and Support Nonprofits Through Everyday Banking

Stearns Bank adds Spiral to allow consumers and businesses to donate to their favorite charities from their banking accounts and round up everyday purchases to support their communities while promoting and boosting digital donations to nonprofits.

Spiral, the award-winning Impact-as-a-Service™ platform for financial institutions, today announced a partnership with Stearns Bank, a top-performing bank in the nation with a mission to innovate the banking landscape and transform the way nonprofits bank. This partnership is set to redefine banking engagement by turning everyday purchases into community contributions and introducing an innovative online Giving Center.

By integrating Spiral's Everyday Impact™, Stearns Bank enables its customers and businesses to effortlessly round up their purchases to support causes close to their hearts, directly benefiting local nonprofits and community initiatives, such as planting trees, feeding children, providing children’s books, and giving mental health support. Additionally, Stearns’ new Giving Center empowers its customers to easily donate to their preferred charities, organizations, and educational institutions directly from their Stearns personal and business online bank accounts. This innovative feature allows customers and businesses to tailor a personalized portfolio of causes, track their charitable impact, and get a donation report for tax purposes.

"We are thrilled to enhance our customers' digital experiences, providing simple and meaningful ways for them to impact their local communities and transform lives," said Adam Gill, Senior Product & Innovation Manager at Stearns Bank. "With Spiral, we're not just helping our customers make a difference they can feel good about; we're also empowering more local nonprofits to drive digital donations and elevate awareness for their vital missions. This integration also pairs nicely with the launch of our nonprofit campaign, featuring a one thousand dollar donation to nonprofits with active accounts."

Incorporating Spiral into its banking ecosystem also enables Stearns to create a lasting social impact within local communities and drive digital donations to nonprofits directly from the bank's customer base through fundraising campaigns, donation matching, and community-wide events.

"We're delighted to partner with Stearns Bank, a leader in community-driven banking and nonprofit banking solutions. Now, through Spiral, they help nonprofits raise more contributions and attract new donors, all while expanding their community involvement to empower customers and businesses to drive positive change through everyday banking," said Shawn Melamed, CEO and Co-founder of Spiral.
