Vine, a commercial lending accelerator for banks and credit unions, is reflecting on a year of growth and momentum. Vine kicked of the year by completing its participation in the ICBA’s ThinkTECH Accelerator, which laid a foundation of success for the team to effectively serve community banks. The company won the accelerator’s MVP Award, which recognizes the most evolved fintech offering based on program engagement and alignment with community bank business priorities. This recognition would be a signal of the year to come.
Over the course of 2025, Vine managed to triple its number of clients, with notable signings from HSLC, Crest Savings Bank and Ipava State Bank. With Vine, these banks are streamlining their commercial lending operations and making faster, more accurate credit decisions.
To support its growth, Vine secured seed funding in June and assembled a board of directors with diverse expertise across financial services. This team and its experience have been invaluable as Vine continues to scale is business and deliver technology that truly supports commercial lenders.
Vine also expanded its platform’s capabilities, adding to the types of documents the platform can handle and partnering with Alogent to create unified document workflow that spans from application to post-close. Following a successful Q3, the company managed to grow its revenue by 200% by the end of Q4, finishing the year strong and positioning the company for continued success into 2026.
“2025 proved to be a year of incredible progress for us. We made significant strides with product strategy, we’ve seen great adoption among both community banks and credit unions and been able to bring on new investors,” said David Eads, CEO and co-founder of Vine. “Our accomplishments this year were a huge testament to what Vine can do, and we are only getting started. I look forward to all the ways our platform and our lenders will grow in 2026.”
