Do your checking accounts exceed goals and deliver the bottom line results you want? Do staff get excited just having the chance to mention checking options to prospective account holders?
Probably not. That’s why you’re here.
Checking in the banking industry is evolving. With a whole lot of service providers explaining why their solution is the best. Before discussing any, let’s step back and figure out what matters to you.
What are some challenges you want to address?
- Increase revenue
- Build loyalty & retention
- Differentiate from competition
- Acquire new accounts
- Reduce costs
Perfect, because we have an answer for you. In fact, make it five! We compiled a list of the five best checking solution providers for financial institutions like yours.
Depending on how you rank the challenges above (or even discover unique ones we didn’t mention), our guide will help you decide which providers (and what kind of solution) makes the most sense for your institution.
Before we get to our guide, make sure you take a look at our “7 Ways to Increase Checking Account Revenue.” This is especially helpful if your goal is to grow through means other than NSF and OD fees. We also share some tips on addressing some of the other challenges, such as building loyalty and reducing costs. But, I digress…
While our Value-Added Checking solution can address all the listed challenges, we understand you want to consider all available options before developing an internal plan or choosing a new path for your checking accounts. Consider this your insurance against “buyer’s remorse”!
Here at GreenProfit Solutions, we believe you deserve honest insights to make the best choices for your institution.
So here’s our compilation of the five best checking solution providers to the financial institution industry. These providers specialize in either Value-Added Checking or Rewards Checking. We display them in no particular order:
