About Coconut
At Coconut Software, we believe that connecting with your financial institution should feel as breezy as a day at the beach. That’s why we spent a decade building a platform that makes it effortless for customers to connect with representatives and easy for staff to deliver exceptional experiences. Our appointment scheduling, queue management, and video banking solutions are trusted by 150+ leading financial institutions across North America, including RBC, Vancity, and Rogue Credit Union. Coconut Software helps these FIs (and more) attract new customers, improve experience, sell more products, and improve customer loyalty.
About Coconut’s Founder
It is a fact that only 6% of tech companies have female CEO. Katherine Regnier is proud to be one of them. Katherine is the CEO and Founder of Coconut Software, the leading provider of appointment scheduling and lobby management solutions for financial institutions.
The Coconut platform is a holistic solution that offers appointment scheduling and lobby management, tailored to tackle the challenges and pain points of banks and credit unions. The company was noted as one of the ‘Top 11 Companies in Tech To Watch In Canada’ in 2020 and was also one of a select few to be accepted into the North American Google Accelerator out of 800 applicants.
Katherine started her company with a $5K loan. When the demand for Coconut’s solution grew, in the fall of 2016, she decided it was time to raise money. Since then she has successfully raised over $39.4M and has scaled the team to over 100 employees.
“Working with the Coconut team has been a fantastic experience. Not only does Coconut offer best-in-the-industry appointment software but they also have an incredibly passionate and dedicated team. Our implementation was a great success, a testament to both the software and the excellent team at Coconut.”
