What it is
Pulsate is a digital engagement platform built for community banks and credit unions. It supports communication through push and in-app notifications, a scrollable feed, retargeting, and online banking messages.

Reporting covers campaign performance, including loan conversion, deposit growth, and channel effectiveness, and includes one-click campaigns for selected opportunities and segments.
Pulsate lists integrations with Access Softek, Banno from Jack Henry, Candescent, Constellation Digital Partners, Q2, and TruStage Digital Storefront. It also offers SFTP, custom integrations, and APIs with more than 120 data points; HubSpot, Salesforce, and other CRMs are named as integration options. Pulsate says integrations, uploads, and analytics are protected under ISO 27001 certification. Its documentation describes its systems as GDPR compliant and the company as a data processor for customer data. The platform is available on the web, Android, iOS, and through an API.
