CSI announced the appointment of Nancy Langer as president, CEO and board member.

"Joining CSI is a full-circle moment in my career," Langer said. "I spent more than 20 years working with community banks at Metavante and FIS, where I developed a deep appreciation for their unique challenges and opportunities. Just as community banks across the country are seeking better ways to build personal relationships with their account holders, CSI is committed to outstanding customer service—a value I believe is the foundation for our continued success. My goal is simple: Inspire and foster a culture of innovation and growth while continuing to deliver an exceptional experience to our customers.”

Langer succeeds David Culbertson, who will transition to the role of vice chair of the board and will work closely with Langer throughout the leadership transition. She most recently served as CEO of Transact Campus, which was acquired by Roper Technologies in 2024 and merged with CBORD. Under her leadership as CEO of the combined business, she successfully guided the company through its strategic acquisition and integration, positioning the combined entity as the leader in integrated payments and campus commerce technology in higher education, health care and senior living.

"Nancy's history of transforming financial technology organizations makes her uniquely qualified to lead CSI's next phase of innovation," said Frank Martire, chair of the board. "Her proven ability to deliver results in complex markets will be instrumental as CSI expands its footprint with community financial institutions throughout the country. Nancy’s client-first mindset will underscore the company’s product roadmap, ensuring CSI technology enables bankers to drive revenue and better serve their account holders."

Prior to Transact, Langer led CoreLogic’s (now Cotality) largest division, Real Estate Tax and Payments. During her tenure, she grew the division’s revenue by more than 50% and was instrumental in CoreLogic’s successful exit sale to Stone Point Capital and Impact Partners. She also spearheaded the company’s largest transformation initiative, delivering an industry-leading digital platform that dramatically enhanced client and consumer experience while improving efficiency and productivity.

Langer's extensive background also includes leadership roles at Metavante and FIS, where she served as chief product officer and executive vice president and was responsible for enterprise-wide products, strategy, R&D and partner equity investments. She is considered an early pioneer in digital banking and online bill payment, having launched and led the consumer bill payment business at Metavante, growing it to serve more than 1,500 financial institutions worldwide.

The impact of Langer’s executive leadership transcends industries. Her accolades include “Change Agent of the Year” by Women in Payments in 2025 and “Top 50 Women of Influence” by HousingWire Magazine in 2019. She has served on the board of RBC Bank USA and currently serves on the board of directors for Nomis Solutions. Langer holds a bachelor’s degree in management information systems from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and is a graduate of the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management executive leadership certificate program.
