Summary and recommendation
Alkami, the digital banking platform used by banks and credit unions, does not offer SCIM provisioning or public SSO integrations. As an enterprise-only platform with custom pricing, Alkami appears to handle user management through direct account administration rather than standardized identity protocols. This creates significant challenges for financial institutions that need to integrate Alkami with their existing identity infrastructure—particularly problematic given the compliance requirements and security standards that banks must maintain.
The lack of automated provisioning means IT teams at financial institutions must manually create, update, and deprovision user accounts in Alkami. For a platform handling sensitive financial data and customer information, this manual approach introduces compliance risks and operational overhead. Banks typically require seamless integration between their core identity systems and all applications accessing customer data.
The strategic alternative
Alkami has no native SCIM. That leaves a workflow gap in offboarding, access reviews, and license cleanup unless your team handles the app another way. Stitchflow builds and maintains the IT workflows your team still runs manually, across every app, including the ones without APIs.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Alkami accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Alkami pricing problem
Alkami gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What Alkami actually offers for identity
No Native Identity Management
Alkami is a digital banking platform designed exclusively for financial institutions (banks and credit unions). The platform focuses on providing white-label digital banking solutions rather than traditional SaaS identity management.
Current identity offerings:
Integration Reality
| Feature | Supported? |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | ❌ No public documentation |
| OIDC SSO | ❌ No public documentation |
| SCIM provisioning | ❌ No |
| Manual user management | Unknown |
| API-based user management | Possibly via Banking APIs |
The core issue: Alkami operates as a B2B2C platform where banks deploy the solution for their end customers. Traditional IT provisioning workflows don't apply to this model - banks typically manage their internal staff access through separate systems, while customer access is handled through the bank's existing authentication systems.
Why This Matters
If your organization is a financial institution using Alkami, you're likely looking to provision internal staff accounts for platform administration and management. Without native SCIM or documented SSO, you're stuck with manual account management or custom API development - both expensive and error-prone approaches for ongoing user lifecycle management.
What IT admins are saying
Alkami's lack of standard identity integrations creates challenges for IT teams managing digital banking platforms:
- No SCIM provisioning available, requiring manual user management across banking systems
- Absence from major identity provider catalogs (Okta OIN, Microsoft Entra) limits integration options
- Custom enterprise-only pricing makes it difficult to assess identity management costs upfront
- Banking API focus doesn't extend to standard identity protocols like SAML or SCIM
We're evaluating digital banking platforms and identity integration is a non-negotiable requirement. The lack of standard SSO/SCIM documentation is concerning for a platform targeting financial institutions.
Enterprise-only custom pricing means we can't even evaluate basic identity features without going through a lengthy sales process. Other banking platforms have moved to standard protocols.
The recurring theme
Alkami's focus on banking APIs hasn't translated to modern identity management standards, leaving IT teams with manual processes and limited integration options for user lifecycle management.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small financial services team (<20 users) | Manual management is workable given enterprise-only deployment |
| Credit union or community bank with stable IT staff | Manual management with focus on API integration |
| Regional bank with growing digital services team | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scaling operations |
| Large financial institution (100+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation critical for compliance and audit requirements |
| Multi-branch deployments with frequent staff changes | Use Stitchflow: automation strongly recommended for operational efficiency |
The bottom line
Alkami has no native SCIM. That means one more workflow gap in offboarding, access reviews, and license cleanup unless your team handles it another way.
Close the Alkami workflow gap
Alkami is one gap in a broader workflow. Stitchflow builds and maintains the offboarding, access review, or license workflow across every app in your environment.
