About Onsetto

Building a better model for commercial banking.

Onsetto was founded around a simple idea: primary commercial banking relationships don't happen by accident. We're building the operating model and technology to help financial institutions activate, expand, and retain more valuable relationships.

Our Point of View

The strongest relationships are built intentionally.

IdentifyActivateExpandRetain

There was a gap between winning the relationship and becoming the primary bank.

Commercial banks have spent decades optimizing the first moment: the account opening. But the real value is created in what comes next - when a business actually runs its operating activity through your institution.

We believe the strongest commercial banking relationships are built through four intentional motions: Identify the right opportunities, Activate them into primary operating relationships, Expand the value you deliver over time, and Retain the relationship through signals and proactive engagement.

That belief became the Operating Relationship Framework. And Onsetto is the company built to put it into practice.

The team behind the Commercial Banking Operating Platform

Commercial banking has long measured success by opening new accounts. But the strongest commercial relationships are built long after the account is opened.

At Onsetto, we're redefining how financial institutions grow commercial banking relationships. Our Commercial Banking Operating Platform helps banks identify opportunities, activate new relationships, expand customer value, and retain operating relationships through one connected framework.

Our team previously founded ClickSWITCH, the platform that transformed consumer account switching and now powers hundreds of financial institutions following its acquisition by Q2. That experience taught us a simple truth: removing friction creates growth. Today, we're applying that same philosophy to the far more complex world of commercial banking.

We believe the future belongs to financial institutions that move beyond transactions and intentionally build operating relationships. That's why we created Onsetto: to provide the technology, intelligence, and framework that help banks achieve business banking primacy and build stronger commercial relationships over time.

Founder & CEO

Cale Johnston founded ClickSWITCH in 2014, the first platform to automate direct deposit and payment switching. It grew to serve more than 600 financial institutions, including many of the nation's largest banks, before its acquisition by Q2 in 2021. At Onsetto, he is applying that experience to commercial banking: helping banks and credit unions turn new business accounts into primary operating relationships, with activation as a repeatable process across the institution rather than an individual banker's effort.
