Our Why

We live mutuality by providing expanded capabilities and resources, streamlined operations, and innovative growth opportunities that enable like-minded institutions to serve their customers, communities, and colleagues.

Our Story

Formed in 2015, we are a member-owned holding company that provides the support and resources mutual banks need to thrive. We believe mutual banks are critical to the long-term success of the communities they serve and proudly offer those that choose to work with us a comprehensive range of services and benefits.

Benefits of Becoming a Member Bank

The many benefits of being a member bank include access to:

  • A broad suite of products and services that enable strategic growth and relevancy without the burden of development and investment.
  • Shared services that create efficiencies and expand capabilities, including audit, compliance, information technology, accounting, human resources and marketing.
  • Innovative technology to meet the demands of today’s consumers by focusing on increased convenience and optimal user experiences.
  • Opportunities to preserve autonomy in order to prioritize local impact, gain economies of scale and achieve greater operational efficiencies.
