What White Clay does

White Clay is a Louisville, Kentucky-based software company founded in 2006 that builds a data-aggregation and relationship-intelligence platform for regional and community banks and credit unions in the United States. The platform combines data from disparate banking, CRM, and treasury systems, cleans and reconciles it to the general ledger, and groups the pieces of complex client and member relationships into a unified household view used by roughly 10,000 bankers daily across institutions representing nearly $500 billion in assets.

The product is structured as six core modules — Relationship Profitability, Relationship Pricing, Relationship Management, Sales Management, Performance Management, and Banker Incentive — augmented by a Treasury Management Pricing and Profitability module launched in June 2023 and an AI Service for Customer Primacy launched in March 2022. Underlying capabilities include configurable account-level profitability calculations GL-reconciled to the bank's general ledger, deal-pricing workflows with market pricing and approval routing, behavior segmentation for cross-line-of-business relationship deepening, and stack-ranked performance and incentive compensation tied to relationship economics. Integrations with S&P Global, Greenwich Associates, Salesforce, and Curinos enrich the platform with external market intelligence and CRM data.

The business model is enterprise B2B SaaS, sold on annual subscriptions priced custom-per-institution based on asset size (target range $500M to $200B) and module bundle, with implementation and support bundled into the engagement. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by thought leadership — bylined articles in American Banker, The Financial Brand, BAI, and CU Times; industry podcast appearances; and booths and speaking slots at conferences such as CBA Live and AOBA. The company is privately held and founder-led by Mac Thompson (ex-Bank of America, Chase) and Mike Wright (CTO, ex-Bank of America, Chase), with no disclosed outside capital or parent company.
