Core offering

Bankers' Bank is an FDIC-insured correspondent bank that provides community banks with a shared platform of banking services — payments and cash management (FIRE/ACH/wire/FedNow), investments (federal funds, bond accounting, subordinated debt, liquidity), commercial banking, community leasing, bank cards, risk management (ALM/ERM), and residential mortgage solutions including a Sallie Mae partnership and an online Mortgage Payment System portal — enabling member banks to expand service offerings without building these capabilities in-house.

Product overview

Bankers' Bank operates as a BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) provider and bankers' bank — a correspondent banking institution that does not compete with its member banks but provides backend infrastructure and service-line solutions to help them serve their own customers. The portfolio is a platform-plus-modules architecture organized around six core pillars: (1) Payments & Cash Management (anchored by FIRE and supplemented by Account Services, ACH, Wire Transfer, Cash Letter Processing, Own It international services, and FedNow faster payments); (2) Investments (Federal Funds, Bond Accounting Services, Subordinated Debt, and Liquidity Sources); (3) Commercial Banking; (4) Leasing (Community Leasing Services spanning agricultural to manufacturing equipment); (5) Risk Management (including Asset Liability Management and Risk Insights/ERM); and (6) Residential Mortgage Solutions (secondary market mortgages including a Sallie Mae® partnership, backed by the Mortgage Payment System portal). The Bank Cards offering covers both credit card issuing and merchant processing. All solutions are delivered with a shared-infrastructure model to reduce per-bank overhead, and include multiple login portals (Estatus Connect, Loan Officer Portal, Investment Portal, MPS) for bank staff and customers.
