What VPCtech does

VPCtech is a niche professional services firm focused on the Fiserv DNA core banking platform, serving community banks and credit unions across the United States and Canada. Its offering combines a subscription-based advisory line (direct expert access for ongoing DNA optimization, including a proprietary Release Matrix for new releases) with project-based consulting for forms optimization, batch/Oracle performance tuning, health checks and crash remediation, cloud migration, upgrade support, installation services, and third-party integration work spanning Loan Origination, Internet Banking, eAgreements, RTP, wires, P2P, and DNA data-model alignment.

The firm's product surface is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture: Ceto NexBridge™ (the rebranded parent product post-acquisition) sits at the center, connected to the Ceto NOVA™ intelligence platform, with discrete add-on consulting modules underneath (Subscription Services, DNA Optimization, Forms Optimization, Batch Optimization, Performance & Stability, Cloud Migration, Upgrade Support & Training, Installation Services, API Consulting, Interface and 3rd Party Consulting, Payment Services Consulting, DNA Data Model Consulting). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales — consultation-driven engagement, thought-leadership content via the Ceto blog, case studies, industry events, and LinkedIn/YouTube presence — with billing on annual subscriptions and project fees.

VPCtech was founded in 2019 and acquired by Ceto (Ceto and Associates, LLC, headquartered in Alpharetta, GA) on August 14, 2024, after which it was rebranded as Ceto NexBridge™. The company is no longer operating as an independent entity; VPCtech's DNA specialization is now embedded within Ceto's broader ecosystem, which serves more than 2,000 banks and credit unions. No public revenue, ARR, funding, or ownership-history figures are disclosed in the available materials.
