Washington, D.C. (July 25, 2024) — The Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) hosted its ThinkTECH Accelerator Showcase, the culmination of the latest Accelerator program (AP7) yesterday. For the first time, the Showcase was held at the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado for its student body of nearly 500 bankers and streamed online for a virtual audience.
“The ThinkTECH Accelerator program exemplifies ICBA’s commitment to fostering innovation and building strong partnerships between community banks and fintech companies,” said ICBA Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Charles Potts. “By bringing ThinkTECH on the road, we can meet bankers where they are and showcase cutting-edge solutions that address their unique challenges. This collaboration not only supports the longevity and prosperity of community banks but also empowers the next generation of industry leaders.”
AP7 focused on artificial intelligence, financial health and wellness, subscription management, digital onboarding and compliance, key issues for today’s community bankers. Presenting companies included:
Prelim Technologies: A no-code platform for customer onboarding processes, which helps banks digitize their services, streamline account opening, and enhance customer experiences.

The Showcase concluded with several awards:
