SaaS subscription model
Q2’s SaaS subscription model charges recurring fees per institution that scale by segment and usage, shifting banks from heavy CAPEX to predictable OPEX. This aligns costs with delivered value and usage patterns, improving unit economics and customer retention. Predictable subscription revenue stream aids institutions’ multi-year budgeting and capital planning.
Modular, tiered packaging
Q2 Holdings packages core digital banking with optional add-ons for lending, onboarding, and security, letting institutions pick modules to match needs. Tiers map to feature depth and support levels, enabling scaled deployments across small banks to regional institutions. Customers pay only for capabilities they use, supporting predictable spend and faster ROI. As of 2024 Q2, Q2 serves over 1,700 customers and about 30 million end users.
