EY names Q2 Holdings Founder and Chairman Hank Seale and President and CEO Matt Flake as EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2015 Award finalists in Central Texas

AUSTIN, TX (May 13, 2015) — EY today announced that president and CEO Matt Flake and founder and chairman Hank Seale of Q2 Holdings (NYSE:QTWO) are finalists for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2015 Award in the Central Texas region. The awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Flake and Seale were selected as finalists by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on Friday, June 5 at the JW Marriott Austin.

Q2 was founded in 2004 by Internet-banking entrepreneur Hank Seale and has become a leading provider of secure cloud-based virtual banking solutions for hundreds of community financial institutions across the country.

“It takes purpose, passion and perseverance to make change in any industry. Twelve years ago we had a vision that would empower community banks and credit unions with the technology platforms needed to compete and deliver superior offerings in their given markets,” said Seale. “Putting Matt Flake at the helm as CEO has allowed us to take that dream and make it a reality. Today we are seeing the fruit of our labors and are both so honored to be part of such an esteemed group of entrepreneurs with this year’s Entrepreneur Of The Year finalists.”

Now in its 29th year, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in more than 60 countries throughout the world.

Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 14, 2015.
