​Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced Q2 Code, a governed AI-powered development environment designed to help financial institutions and partners build extensions and integrations on the Q2 Digital Banking Platform faster and with greater confidence.
 
Built for teams extending the Q2 Digital Banking Platform through Q2 Innovation Studio, Q2 Code is part of Q2’s platform-first AI strategy and is designed to help financial institutions and partners turn natural language prompts into Q2 SDK-compliant extensions and integrations. By bringing generative AI into the existing Q2 development workflow, Q2 Code helps accelerate delivery of differentiated digital experiences from weeks to days while maintaining the governance, security and platform alignment required by regulated financial institutions.
 
Through Q2 Innovation Studio, financial institutions can already use the Q2 Software Development Kit (SDK) to create custom integrations, support fintech partnerships and deliver differentiated digital experiences. Q2 Code builds on that foundation by helping developers move from idea to working extension faster, generating Q2-native code aligned to platform APIs, patterns and best practices.
 
Rather than manually navigating documentation, configuring tooling and assembling development workflows, teams can use Q2 Code to generate, test and refine platform-ready code more efficiently. Developed by integrating Anthropic’s Claude Code through Amazon Bedrock, Q2 Code brings generative and agentic AI development capabilities into a compliant, enterprise-ready environment tailored for financial services use cases.
 
By making it easier to build on the Q2 Digital Banking Platform, Q2 Code shifts development from a constraint to a strategic advantage—enabling institutions of all sizes to move faster, extend their capabilities and deliver differentiated digital experiences. It also acts as a force multiplier for engineering teams, enabling faster prototyping and allowing product leaders, platform managers and other stakeholders to contribute more meaningfully to innovation without increasing engineering headcount.
 
“AI represents the most significant development in technology since digital banking became mainstream, and financial institutions need practical ways to use it to create real impact,” said Q2 CTO Adam Blue. “With Q2 Code, we’re embedding AI directly into the SDK to drive innovation. It will help banks, credit unions and partners build on Q2 faster while maintaining the trust, governance and resilience they require. This is about giving financial institutions new power to extend their capabilities, differentiate their experiences and compete more effectively in a rapidly changing market.”
 
“Amazon Bedrock gives organizations the flexibility to build and scale generative AI applications with enterprise security and proven scalability,” said John Kain, Director, Financial Services Market Development, AWS. “With Q2 Code, Q2 is enabling developers to innovate faster and more efficiently to build high-quality software while meeting the rigorous requirements of the financial services industry. We’re excited to work with Q2 to bring AI-powered development capabilities to the Q2 Digital Banking Platform.”
 
Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union will serve as an early adopter in Q2 Code’s Early Access program. Through the program, which will expand throughout 2026, participants will use Q2 Code in real-world development scenarios and provide feedback to help shape the product roadmap ahead of broader availability. Q2 is also using Q2 Code internally across product and engineering teams to support multiple stages of the software development lifecycle, including ideation, implementation and production.
 
“One of the biggest challenges in development is the time it takes to go from idea to execution, which limits how many new concepts teams can realistically pursue,” said Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union SVP and Chief Information Officer Jonathan Cilley. “What’s exciting about Q2 Code is its ability to accelerate that cycle, helping our teams move from idea to prototype much faster. By lowering the barrier to building and iterating, it creates new opportunities to test, refine, and deliver more differentiated digital experiences on Q2’s digital banking platform.”
