Paywhere partners with Q2 to bring programmable banking to financial institutions

Written By Shannon Hewlko

Press Release: Q2 Partnership

The next era of commercial banking has arrived. Financial institution clients want to bank using code. Paywhere is happy to announce that the Paywhere API Storefront is now officially live on the Q2 Marketplace. This integration provides financial institutions with the exact infrastructure required to serve businesses that rely on automated workflows and AI-driven financial orchestration. The Engine Underneath, Your FI Brand on Top

Every available path to modernization usually asks a bank or credit union to give something up. We built Paywhere on an entirely different principle: you keep everything that matters. You control the product roadmap, you own the economics, and you retain the direct customer relationship. Paywhere simply provides the programmable engine underneath.

By integrating seamlessly with your existing Q2 digital banking infrastructure, we bridge your traditional compliance systems with the modern, connected financial networks your clients now demand. You tightly manage user access and protect data at all times, ensuring your institution retains total ownership of the experience.

Infrastructure Built for AI and Automation

Our Banking API Storefront equips your institution with modular, secure, real-time APIs that expose embedded banking functionality directly to your clients. We designed this compliance and risk architecture specifically for a world where AI agents automate financial workflows at machine speed.

Through the Q2 integration, your customers gain programmatic access to:

  • Foundational Banking: Real-time account balances and rich transaction history required for automated reconciliation.

  • Money Movement: Secure orchestration of ACH payments and wire transfers.

  • Stablecoin Operations: Endpoints that enable commercial customers to securely send and receive USDC transactions, preparing your institution for the programmable money wave.

All of this happens within your secure environment, allowing you to create new revenue streams without requiring a massive overhaul of your core systems.

Lead the Future of Banking

At Paywhere, we are building the foundation for a new era of banking — one where institutions thrive by embracing API-first infrastructure, stablecoin rails, and deeply connected financial ecosystems.

On a personal note, Shannon is an aspiring triathlete and there is no doubt that she passes those long hours biking, swimming and running by dreaming up ideas and developing strategies for her many projects. When she’s not training for her next triathlon, Shannon stays in shape by picking up mad dance skills from her two-year-old niece, Tootie, at their weekly dance off in her sister’s living room.
