The Datos Insights Matrix evaluates leading retail digital banking technology providers based on vendor capability, including stability, client service, and product features, as well as performance measures such as client satisfaction, implementation success, and client outcomes and impact. Q2 earned Market Leader distinction based on its enterprise scale, platform maturity, and measurable business impact.

Notably, the report recognizes Q2 as serving 446 clients—the largest client base among dedicated retail digital banking providers—supported by more than 40 new clients annually. Backed by a feature-rich, cloud-native platform that enables AI-driven personalization, embedded payments, and open ecosystem integration, this momentum reflects not only Q2’s current market leadership, but a sustained expansion trajectory that reinforces a durable foundation for long-term growth.

Q2 also led all evaluated providers in both the Vendor Stability and Client Outcomes and Impact categories, underscoring its strong client foundation and its proven ability to help financial institutions drive revenue, deepen engagement, and meet evolving customer expectations. The report further highlighted Q2’s leadership team as a differentiator, noting that some clients view Q2’s management team as the strongest in the industry.

“In market, having the right digital banking platform in place is important, but delivering measurable outcomes is what truly differentiates providers,” said Datos Insights Retail Banking & Payments Executive Advisor David Albertazzi. “Q2 distinguished itself by demonstrating the ability to translate digital capabilities into meaningful business results for banks and credit unions, reinforcing its position as market leader.”

In an increasingly competitive landscape where financial institutions must compete with both traditional peers and digital-native challengers, platform maturity, execution consistency, and measurable business impact are critical. Q2’s positioning as Market Leader underscores its ability to deliver on all three.

Banks and credit unions achieve full digital transformation through Q2’s feature-rich, cloud-native platform supported by a 100% public cloud deployment model and a comprehensive modern payments ecosystem. Q2’s roadmap further emphasizes no-code and pro-code flexibility, advanced personalization, and open banking enablement to support evolving regulatory and ecosystem demands.

“This recognition highlights Q2’s ability to help banks and credit unions compete in an increasingly demanding market,” said Q2 Vice President of Product Management Anthony Ianniciello. “Financial institutions need more than functionality—they need a partner that helps them innovate with confidence, execute consistently, and deliver personalized, data-driven experiences that fuel sustainable growth.”
