Dear Spiral Community,
We’re excited to announce our partnership with Gulf Coast Bank, an LA-based community bank known for its customer care and dedication to giving back. This partnership will enable Gulf Coast Bank to better help its customers' financial well-being and increase community support. This partnership will also amplify engagement and grow deposits through new personalized digital experiences. Customers will be able to turn everyday purchases into savings and community impact, with the ability to easily donate through an engaging digital Giving Center.
Personalized Savings and Impact
By integrating Spiral’s Everyday Impact™, Gulf Coast Bank's personal and business banking customers will be empowered to round up their everyday purchases to effortlessly save for their future while also being able to support charitable causes and initiatives of their choice — such as providing Wi-Fi for children through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana and essential mental health support to veterans in need through Acadiana Veteran Alliance. In addition, Gulf Coast Bank's new Giving Center will allow customers to easily donate to the causes they care about directly from their online bank accounts. Through this new Giving Center, customers can create a tailored portfolio of causes, track their charitable impact, and receive a donation report for tax purposes.
"We're proud to build upon our legacy of philanthropic donations. By offering simple ways for our customers to grow their savings and make a positive difference, we're continuing our mission of giving back to the communities we serve," said Jason Patout, Senior Vice President, at Gulf Coast Bank. "Adding Spiral allows our customers to improve their finances and make an impact without having to think about it," he added.
Boosting Growth and Uplifting Communities
By integrating with Spiral, Gulf Coast Bank will drive awareness and donations to nonprofits directly from its customer base and create positive change in communities through fundraising campaigns, donation matching, and community events.
"Gulf Coast Bank has an impressive history of driving community philanthropy with a strong commitment to its customers' financial well-being," said Shawn Melamed, CEO and Co-founder of Spiral. "We're proud to empower more banks to personalize their digital banking experience, enhance customer lives, and accelerate growth while helping their communities," he added.
