Based in Greenville, South Carolina, United Community is a regional bank offering both personal and business banking services, including checking and savings accounts and loans, as well as wealth management and investment solutions. It operates primarily in the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
As part of its newfound relationship with Allied, the bank is to integrate its real-time payment solutions into its digital banking platform, which is supported by its existing partner, the Texas-based financial software provider Q2.
Allied announced a similar integration with Commencement Bank, a US-based community bank, last month in another step forward for real-time payments in the country.
