Banks and credit unions plan to increase technology spending, led by investments in AI, digital banking, and data analytics

MONETT, Mo., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Banks and credit unions are prioritizing operational efficiency, deposit growth, and new payment capabilities as they navigate economic uncertainty and increasing technological complexity, according to findings from Jack Henry’s eighth annual Strategy Benchmark.

Jack Henry® (Nasdaq: JKHY) surveyed 193 executives from financial institutions using Jack Henry solutions. The survey highlights the industry’s most pressing strategic priorities, top concerns, and technology investment plans for the next two years.

“Banks and credit unions have finally recognized their biggest competitive threat in Big Fintech and Big Crypto,” says Lee Wetherington, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy and lead author of the benchmark. “As we enter a new hybrid monetary era, the game is changing and charter franchises are under attack. The goal of strategy is no longer simply to win but to ensure you’re competing to win the right game.”

The vast majority of financial institutions plan to increase technology spending, with 88% expecting to raise their tech budgets over the next two years, up from 76% last year. Four in 10 institutions (41%) plan increases of 6% to 10%, compared with 33% a year ago. Artificial intelligence (48%) is the top planned technology investment for the first time, followed by digital banking (38%) and data analytics (32%). While banks remain focused on growing deposits (64%) as their top strategic priority in 2026-2027, credit unions (40%) continue to place outsized emphasis on acquiring younger accountholders (Gen Z/Alpha).

“Financial institutions are in a high-stakes race for Gen Z and small business,” says Jennifer Geis, Senior Strategic Advisor of Corporate Strategy at Jack Henry and Managing Editor of the study. “Given Gen Z now drives most small-business formation—and given small-business deposits are 4-5X larger than retail—understanding and meeting the unique needs of “bizumers” is key to growth, whether you frame it in terms of deposits or demographics.”

Among the highlights from the survey:

PaymentsMore than nine out of 10 CEOs (94%) plan to add new payment services within the next two years, yet only 36% have a formal payments strategy in place.More than four out of five (82%) financial institutions plan to incorporate tap-to-pay as part of their strategy to add younger accountholders.Nearly half (47%) of CEOs plan to embed payments into their digital banking experience over the next two years.Small Business FocusThree out of four CEOs say they plan to expand services for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).The most common planned addition is payment services, including FedNow®, request for payment, and tap-to-pay. 
 Cryptocurrency18% of CEOs plan to support stablecoins, tokenized money, and/or cryptocurrency by the end of 2027. This includes:Tokenized deposits/deposit tokensSupport for on-chain wallets for accountholdersAbility to orchestrate, exchange, and settle dollars to and from stablecoins/crypto.However, only 3% of CEOs report having a formal stablecoin strategy in place.
 Getting YoungerThe second most important strategic priority for credit unions (and fourth overall) is adding younger accountholders. It is also one of the top three concerns for CEOs.More than 40% of credit unions have a formal strategy, compared to just 10% of banks.Fintechs and neobanks are considered the biggest competitive threat in this area.Data analytics and AILeveraging data is the 5th most important strategic priority overall among banks and credit unionsPlans to implement AI grew double digits compared to last year1/3 of FIs plan to embed data collection/analysis tools within digital banking

The study’s results are based on an online survey conducted in January and February 2026 of a diverse sample of Jack Henry clients with assets ranging from less than $500 million to more than $5 billion. Download the eBook to learn more.
