Today marks the grand finale of Jack Henry Connect – and we’re sure you’ll leave with stories worth sharing.
The atmosphere throughout the conference has been lively to say the least – and today was no exception. We’ve covered a lot: from innovative keynotes to exciting announcements and valuable sessions on hot topics like how to win SMB accountholders, understanding the potential of stablecoins, defending against financial crimes, human-centric leadership in the age of AI, and much more.
“We’re going to be giving new AI tools to our employees. But just like Tony Stark only became Iron Man once he put on the suit, there was still a human being driving the technology. As we increase our AI usage, we’re going to ensure we retain our humanity.”
- Keith Fulton, Chief Data Officer, Jack Henry
“Right now, no one really knows where the stablecoin economy is going and who the winners are going to be. Between the established coins, now we see big banks announcing their own coins, plus rumors that Apple, Amazon, and Walmart may launch their own coins. What is going to serve banks and credit unions best if they want to get into this space sooner is to work with a partner that can deliver liquidity on all of those stablecoins – so you can serve accountholders and ultimately drive more deposits.”
- Kian Sarreshteh, Chief Executive Officer, InvestiFi
We were also proud to reflect on today's significance, with a moment of silence from the Main Stage to begin Day 4. As a community, we stand together in remembrance of September 11, and we were inspired to see so many of you wearing the special flair button in memory of this day.
From mornings on the Main Stage to evening receptions, every session here in San Diego has ignited new ideas.
At last night’s Tech Hall Reception, vendors and attendees connected to explore solutions that can help community financial institutions grow (without the guesswork). Between demos, conversations sparked around making digital banking feel more human – from tailored notifications to multi-lingual chat features that echo an in-branch greeting.
The final LEGO® build was also completed, and it was incredible to see how it came together.
The morning started strong with a closing keynote from Vivian Tu, Founder and CEO of Your Rich BFF. Upcoming Creative Solutions sessions are also a fabulous way to wrap up the week. These sessions have been a long-standing tradition for credit unions to see the most innovative solutions built by their CU peers, and we’re thrilled to see a new informational session for banks taking place this year. It’s a great opportunity for both groups to gain valuable takeaways.
We’re also counting down to tonight’s closing celebration aboard the historic USS Midway – a legendary aircraft carrier turned maritime museum. Walking its flight deck at sunset, we’ll connect under the shadow of naval history with the San Diego skyline as our backdrop. It’s an epic finale you won’t want to miss.
As we say our farewells, we want to take a moment to thank all of you for being a part of this year’s Jack Henry Connect. We hope you leave with valuable insights and new connections that will fuel your future success. We couldn’t do it without you.
We’re already looking forward to next year – mark your calendars for October 19 – 21, 2026 in Kansas City, MO, for our biggest Jack Henry Connect yet. (After all, we will be celebrating our golden anniversary.) And be sure to follow us on social for further details on our 2026 plans.
Until we meet again, carry that momentum forward!
Kindly,
