Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union Launches GenGrow Family Wallet Youth Banking Platform with Rego Payment Architectures, Inc.

Michigan- and Ohio-based credit union expands digital banking experience with a secure, parent-controlled financial solution for families

BLUE BELL, Pa., April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (“REGO”) (OTCQB: RPMT), the leading white-label family financial lifecycle platform for financial institutions, today announced that Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union has launched its youth banking platform, GenGrow Family Wallet, powered by REGO. The new offering enables families to introduce children to financial concepts through a secure, parent-controlled experience, fully integrated within Cornerstone’s existing digital banking platform.

“Our mission has always been centered on supporting our members and their families at every stage of life,” said Steve Flores, Chief Innovation Officer at Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union. “With the GenGrow Family Wallet, we are extending that commitment to younger members, giving parents the tools to guide their children’s financial development in a safe and meaningful way.”

Children between the ages of five and 17 are estimated to have over $360 billion in spending power, with increasing adoption of debit cards and mobile-first financial tools. REGO’s platform allows financial institutions like Cornerstone to meet this demand with a purpose-built solution that prioritizes safety, parental oversight, and compliance with child data privacy regulations, including exceeding COPPA requirements.

“Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union shares our belief that financial education should begin early and within a trusted environment,” said Peter S. Pelullo, Chief Executive Officer at REGO. “By launching the GenGrow Family Wallet, Cornerstone is equipping families with a digital experience that supports lifelong financial habits, all within the credit union’s existing platform.”

Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union’s launch of GenGrow Family Wallet builds on its long-standing commitment to serving members and their families. Since its founding in 1951, Cornerstone has evolved from a small, employee-based credit union into a growing institution serving communities across Michigan and Ohio, while remaining member-owned and focused on personal service. By combining innovative digital banking tools with its community-first approach, Cornerstone continues to provide members with the resources they need to support their families and achieve their financial goals.
