With more than 125 years of banking history, the bank has maintained its commitment to strong customer relationships, sound lending practices and supporting the communities it serves.
The Square 1 Credit Suite will provide the bank with an integrated loan management platform that connects credit analysis, financial spreading, risk ratings, loan approvals, exception management and portfolio reporting. By bringing these functions together, the bank can reduce manual processes, improve consistency and provide its lending team with greater visibility into borrower information and portfolio performance.
