MX will provide Central Pacific Bank customers with a data-driven digital money management experience, all within the CPB website and mobile app. The digital solutions are expected to be offered in 2020.

"MX is helping us to elevate our customers' experience with digital tools that make banking simple, smart and secure," added Catherine Ngo, President of CPB.

Powered by MX's mobile solution Helios, and personal financial management tool MoneyMap, which collects, cleanses and enriches transactional data and then presents insights for smart financial action, CPB's digital money management will allow customers to aggregate accounts from all their other financial institutions in a single location. With no need to log in to any other app or website, users will get a clear view of all their finances in one place and in a dynamic, visually aesthetic format.
