In 2019, Jack Henry integrated 2FA with Authy into its Banno Digital Platform, replacing its less-secure security questions-based authentication system. This integration also reduced the total number of questions asked during the enrollment process for the Banno Digital Platform.

In 2022, the company broadened the functionalities of the Banno Digital Platform by incorporating Twilio Video. This enabled Jack Henry's customers to establish personalized, one-on-one video interactions.

Expanding its partnership with Jack Henry, Twilio reaffirmed its commitment to establishing and maintaining valuable alliances to maintain a larger market presence. The firm’s communication business, covering Programmable Messaging, Programmable Voice, Email and Account Security, has significantly benefited and is poised for continued growth through the Twilio-Jack Henry Partnership.
