Read Time 3 mins | Written by: Karly Field

Birmingham, Ala. — May 26, 2026— Finovifi, a provider of modern banking technology for community banks and credit unions, today announced a strategic partnership with Arcsalus Advisors (formerly Sentry Advisors), an independent advisory firm delivering compliance, risk management, and performance consulting to financial institutions nationwide.

Through this partnership, Finovifi is extending its AI-driven compliance platform, ComplyPilot, with integrated advisory support from Arcsalus Advisors—combining real-time regulatory intelligence with experienced, human validation. The partnership also enables Arcsalus to introduce Finovifi’s fraud prevention solutions to its client base, further strengthening how institutions manage risk across compliance and fraud.

Community banks are facing increasing pressure from both rising fraud and evolving regulatory expectations. This partnership brings together advanced technology and expert advisory support—enabling financial institutions to strengthen compliance programs, improve audit readiness, and respond to risk with greater speed and confidence.

“Compliance is becoming more complex, and banks need both speed and confidence in how they respond,” said Russell Taylor, President of Finovifi. “ComplyPilot allows institutions to move faster using AI, while Arcsalus Advisors adds a critical layer of human validation and insight. Together, we’re delivering a model that combines automation with accountability—something community banks have been missing.”

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Support Enhances AI-Driven Compliance

As part of the partnership, Finovifi will offer a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) advisory layer within ComplyPilot. This capability allows financial institutions to submit AI-generated compliance responses—including regulatory Q&A and marketing reviews—for validation by Arcsalus Advisors’ team of experts.

This model allows institutions to leverage the speed and efficiency of AI while maintaining confidence through experienced human oversight—bridging the gap between automation and regulatory accountability.

Expanded Insights Offering for Ongoing Compliance Support

In addition to HITL support, the partnership introduces an expanded Insights offering designed to provide continuous regulatory guidance and operational clarity. This includes:

    • Regulatory change alerts, with cadence moving toward weekly updates
    • Compliance reference guides designed for practical, day-to-day use
    • A centralized regulatory calendar tracking key deadlines, rule changes, and effective dates
    • Quarterly newsletters and ongoing industry insights
    • Discounted access to training and webinars, delivered through Finovifi’s learning platform

Together, these capabilities provide financial institutions with both immediate answers and long-term visibility—helping them stay ahead of regulatory expectations while reducing internal burden.

“We’re excited to partner with Finovifi to bring additional value to the institutions we serve,” said John Soffronoff, Founder & Managing Partner, Arcsalus Advisors. “Financial institutions don’t just need answers—they need confidence those answers will stand up to regulatory scrutiny. By combining Finovifi’s technology with our advisory expertise, we’re helping banks move faster without sacrificing accuracy or defensibility.”

A More Complete Approach to Compliance and Risk Management

As part of the partnership:

    • Finovifi will offer Arcsalus Advisors’ compliance audit, education, and advisory services to its bank clients, enhancing and supporting the use of ComplyPilot
    • Arcsalus Advisors will introduce Finovifi’s fraud prevention solutions—including check fraud detection and fraud intelligence tools—to its client base

This combined approach allows financial institutions to align technology, expertise, and processes—helping them identify risk earlier, respond more effectively, and maintain strong regulatory standing.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting community banks with practical, high-impact solutions that address both day-to-day operational challenges and long-term regulatory demands.
