Onsetto Wins Gold in 2026 Datos Insights Commercial Banking Impact Awards for Operational Efficiency

Minneapolis, Minn., October 21, 2026 - Onsetto, The Commercial Banking Operating Platform, today announced that its flagship solution, SwitchAssist, has received the Gold Medal in Operational Efficiency in the 2026 Datos Insights Commercial Banking Impact Awards.

Presented at the Datos Insights Commercial and Small Business Banking Forum in New York City on October 20, the award recognizes innovation in commercial banking technology. Onsetto was honored for its approach to simplifying and coordinating the transition of business operating activity, helping financial institutions turn new and existing business accounts into more complete operating relationships.

For many financial institutions, winning a new business customer does not necessarily mean winning that customer's primary banking relationship. Critical financial activity, including deposits, receivables, payables, and payroll, often remains distributed across multiple institutions. Moving that activity can be complex, time-consuming, and difficult for bankers to track.

Onsetto's SwitchAssist addresses this challenge by providing businesses with a structured, guided experience for transitioning their operating activity while giving bankers greater visibility into the process.

"Commercial banks invest significant time and resources into winning business relationships, but the real value of those relationships depends on what happens next," said Cale Johnston, Founder and CEO of Onsetto. "Moving a business's day-to-day financial activity has historically been a complicated, manual process for both the customer and the banker. We built SwitchAssist to remove that friction and help financial institutions turn more of the relationships they win into active, primary operating relationships. Receiving this recognition from Datos Insights is especially meaningful because it validates the importance of solving this longstanding industry challenge."

Bringing Greater Efficiency to Business Banking Activation

SwitchAssist helps financial institutions create a more consistent, scalable approach to activating business relationships by:

Simplifying operating transitions: Guiding businesses through the process of moving deposits, receivables, payables, payroll, and other recurring financial activity.

Reducing manual banker effort: Providing a structured process that reduces the need for bankers to independently coordinate and track each step of a business's transition.

Improving visibility: Giving bankers insight into transition progress so they can identify outstanding activities and provide more proactive support.

Unlocking relationship value: Helping financial institutions capture more operating deposits, increase opportunities for treasury adoption, and strengthen relationships with new and existing business customers.

SwitchAssist supports multiple business banking use cases, including Net-New Activation, Existing Portfolio Activation, M&A Migration, and Fraud Recovery.

The solution is part of Onsetto's broader Commercial Banking Operating Platform, which helps financial institutions identify, activate, expand, and retain valuable business banking relationships.

The recognition comes as financial institutions face increasing pressure to grow deposits, deepen treasury relationships, and improve banker productivity.

Onsetto believes these objectives are closely connected. Through its Operating Relationship Framework, Identify → Activate → Expand → Retain, the company helps financial institutions approach relationship growth as a coordinated lifecycle rather than a series of disconnected initiatives.

"The strongest commercial banking relationships aren't won. They're built," added Johnston. "Our goal is to give financial institutions the intelligence, structure, and tools to build those relationships more consistently. This award is an important milestone for our team and reinforces the opportunity ahead."
