What it is

A structured tool layer
between agents and financial rails

Cotribute MCP isn't a BaaS play. It's an AI-callable interface that lets agents trigger real origination workflows at credit unions and community banks, with the financial institution remaining the regulated entity at every step.

🔌

MCP-Standard Tools

Structured JSON tools callable by Claude, GPT, LangGraph, CrewAI, and any MCP-compatible agent. Works across credit unions and banks — no custom SDKs or bespoke integration per workflow.

🏛️

FI as the Regulated Entity

The financial institution — whether credit union or bank — signs every account. KYC, OFAC, BSA/AML, Reg B, and CRA obligations stay with the FI, not Cotribute, not the agent builder.

🧩

Composable Architecture

25+ production integrations across core banking, LOS, digital banking, fraud, payments, and compliance. Connect what your FI already has — replace nothing.

Architecture

From agent intent
to core system action

Every tool call travels a defined accountability chain. The FI compliance layer is structurally required before any core system write occurs — at credit unions and banks alike.

Regulatory Architecture

The FI is always
the regulated entity

No BaaS risk. No sponsor bank model. Every origination action flows through the financial institution's own charter — whether that's an NCUA-supervised credit union or an FDIC/OCC-supervised bank — with a full examiner-ready audit trail.

Use Cases

Who builds with this
and how

Three distinct deployment patterns at credit unions and banks — each with an honest assessment of where they are today.

● Ready Now

FI Internal AI Copilot

A credit union or community bank deploys Claude as an internal copilot for frontline staff. The agent looks up member/customer eligibility, opens accounts, and submits loan applications across all product types — without staff navigating multiple systems.

Credit unions & banksAll 4 product typesNo external regulatory exposureDefensible today
● Ready Now

AI Growth Agents

Cotribute's AIA (acquisition) and AIC (cross-sell) agents use MCP tools to execute campaigns — scanning account holder data, triggering pre-qualification, and opening accounts without human touch when conditions are met.

AIA + AIC agentsDecisionIntelligence+ routing97.6% automation rate
◐ In Development

Employer Embedded Banking (SEG)

Financial institutions with Select Employee Group or direct employer relationships embed a Cotribute-powered agent in HR portals. New hires open accounts at onboarding — using existing legal frameworks, no new regulatory ground broken.

Third-Party Agent Marketplace

External agent builders — fintechs, HR platforms, wealth apps — call Cotribute MCP tools against a network of participating FIs. Requires FI network effect, TPRM frameworks, and regulator guidance on agent-initiated origination across both bank and credit union charters.

Reality Check

What's real. What's hard.
What we're building toward.

What's Real
The infrastructure is production-grade
Cotribute's 25+ integrations, decisioning engine, and compliance tools are live at credit unions and banks today. The MCP layer wraps existing capability — it doesn't require net-new infrastructure at participating FIs.
What's Hard
FI adoption and regulatory posture
Each FI must opt in, train their BSA officer on AI-triggered workflows, and update their TPRM documentation. Post-Synapse regulatory scrutiny on third-party origination — at banks and credit unions — makes this a careful, deliberate process.
What We're Building
The design partner program
We're working with a small cohort of forward-thinking credit unions and community banks to prove the internal copilot pattern, document examiner responses, and refine the compliance package before any external agent exposure.
Design Partner Program

Build the future of
financial origination

We're selecting a small cohort of forward-thinking credit unions and community banks to co-develop the Cotribute MCP standard. You get early access, direct input on the tool spec, and a seat at the table.
