These metrics can be simple to calculate, but they do not necessarily lead to improved profitability. White Clay now enables community institutions to automate performance incentives based on an institution’s unique profitability metrics, including relationship profitability, net interest income, deposit growth, fee income, and customer retention.“It’s a broken system to reward bankers for driving metrics that don’t improve profitability,” said Scott Earwood, Chief Revenue Officer at White Clay. “Regional banks have cracked this code and proven the value of aligning incentives with profitability, and we at White Clay have been powering this approach for decades. Now, AI allows us to automate these decisions at scale and bring the same capabilities to community financial institutions. Our work with institutions like Financial Plus Credit Union (FPCU) has shown that community institutions can make the shift to smarter, profitability-based incentives with ease. It’s a game-changer for the industry.”Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Goals are then established down to the individual level, giving bankers visibility into their progress, and management insights for coaching and reviews. The automated process also significantly reduces manual data entry.Since implementing White Clay’s tool, FPCU has cut incentive management from 80 hours a week to less than five. Through July, its retail business reported loan growth of 111%, member growth of 102% and deposit growth of 100%, while its Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased more than three points in the last four months.“White Clay has transformed how we manage incentives, making the process more efficient, accurate and transparent,” said Ryan Carley, Senior Vice President of Retail Delivery at FPCU. “The tool is tailored to our credit union’s specific needs, and everyone from individual bankers to branch, district and overall retail leadership can see how they perform against their goals, weekly. It’s become the glue between our sales process and incentive plan, helping us drive the right banker behaviors. There’s no other product like it on the market.”The tool is available through an interactive dashboard alongside White Clay’s relationship profitability, pricing and analytics capabilities, creating one seamless environment with consistent data. The launch comes as financial institutions begin setting budgets and evaluating incentive plans for 2027.White Clay is a fintech that guides banks and credit unions to enhance customer relationships and profitability. For 20 years, its software has offered financial institutions a comprehensive view of customer interactions and insights to boost daily business decisions. By aligning goals with shareholder value, White Clay improves banker performance and pricing strategies.
