understanding of client needs. With that in mind, I look to the banker to allow their personality be the driver. How they create that memorable experience I leave to their creativity. I enjoy “blue sky” discussions, but I also try to understand the bigger picture. I’m a big fan of accountability — and with accountability it’s about the journey to achieve the desired results. To get there, it’s alright to do things differently, but it needs to be practical and actionable by your team.

Real-time payment apps have brought greater efficiency in moving money from person to person. The pandemic has also brought greater use of treasury platforms, such as our Treasury Management Select for Businesses and Deluxe Payment Exchange, to move money more efficiently. Mobile banking, e-bill payments and online loan applications are quickly becoming the preferred way to bank, particularly for Generations X and Y.
