Jack Henry Tap2Local™ Named "Small Business Payments Solution of the Year" in 2026 FinTech Breakthrough Awards Program
Prestigious annual awards program recognizes outstanding financial technology products and companies around the world.
MONETT, Mo., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry® (NASDAQ:JKHY) today announced that its Tap2Local™ solution has received the "Small Business Payments Solution of the Year" award in the 10th annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program. The program is conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes top companies, technologies, and products in today's global FinTech market.
Jack Henry's Tap2Local™ is a modern, cloud-native digital payments solution that enables banks and credit unions to meet the evolving needs of their small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers. Developed in collaboration with Moov, Tap2Local is seamlessly delivered through the Banno Digital Platform™ to provide a fast, intuitive, and consolidated experience.
Tap2Local offers merchants many distinguishing features, including easy enrollment, the ability to accept debit and credit card payments directly through tap-to-pay on both iOS and Android devices, eliminating the need for additional hardware, as well as continuous account reconciliation to the accounting platform of their choice.
"Tap2Local is a key part of our broader SMB strategy to help banks and credit unions win with small businesses, and we're honored to see it recognized by FinTech Breakthrough," said Jack Henry President and CEO Greg Adelson. "By enabling financial institutions to become the central operating hub for business accountholders, Tap2Local helps recapture deposits while freeing business owners to focus on what they love, not payment operations."
"Jack Henry's Tap2Local is redefining small business payments by equipping financial institutions with a modern, frictionless experience through an easy, hardware-free payment solution," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. "Traditional point-of-sale systems impose cost, operational complexity, and slow onboarding. These fragmented third-party tools also often call for external hardware, lengthy paperwork, or delays. Tap2Local's consolidation of payments, banking, insights, and accounting into one unified experience simplifies business financial management and strengthens the bond between SMBs and their financial institutions."
