We’re also able to efficiently support all types of commercial lending.”

Hasselbring cites integration between Fiserv applications and the cohesive customer experience of Business Online™ for business online banking and Mobiliti Business™ for business mobile banking as major factors in the decision to choose Fiserv.

The bank expects its staff to benefit from the intuitive navigation of Fiserv solutions, the automation of manual tasks and the ability to easily find and view important information. These capabilities help bankers move seamlessly through their day and serve customers quickly – improving the customer experience and further supporting the bank’s growth.
