Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. (“Apex”), the infrastructure powering modern investing, announced a strategic alliance with Navy Federal Investment Services (NFIS), part of Navy Federal Financial Group, a subsidiary of Navy Federal Credit Union, to support the launch of NFIS’s Digital Investor platform. As part of its commitment to delivering a world-class digital experience for the credit union’s 15+ million members, NFIS is modernizing its investing capabilities by utilizing Apex's cloud-native AscendOS™ platform.

The new platform will leverage Apex's real-time AscendOS infrastructure, creating a smoother investing experience while ensuring scalability, performance and reliability as member demand continues to grow in the coming years.

"By joining forces with Navy Federal Investment Services, we're helping bring real-time account opening and automated portfolio management to those who serve and have served our country and their families," said Bill Capuzzi, CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions.

Navy Federal's digital investing experience will offer the following:

• Real-time account opening with seamless funding directly from members' Navy Federal Credit Union accounts, with a range of available account types.
• Self-directed "Invest Your Way" accounts for low-cost investing in stocks and ETFs — with fractional shares starting at $1.
• Automated, goals-based portfolios coupled with the Apex Rebalancer tool to help keep investors' strategies on track.

“As we continue to explore ways to provide our members with a best-in-class investor experience, it’s critical that our infrastructure is able to scale without sacrificing the seamless experience our members expect and deserve,” said Diane Young, Chief Operating Officer of Navy Federal Financial Group. “Apex’s real-time platform helps us better support the military community and their families by making investing more accessible and giving them more opportunities to build toward a stronger financial future.”
