Investing in the Future of Correspondent Banking

At The Bankers Bank, our mission has always been simple: to make you, our respondent bank customers, more capable, more competitive, and more confident in serving your own communities. That mission extends beyond the financial products and services we provide. It extends to the technology platform that powers your connection to us.

Over the past year, our Board of Directors has made a significant and intentional investment in modernizing and expanding our digital banking platform. This isn’t incremental maintenance. It’s a strategic commitment to building infrastructure that is modern, secure, and positioned to grow alongside the needs of the community banks and financial institutions we serve across Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico.

What This Investment Means for You

The enhancements we have been working on reflect a deliberate focus on three priorities: reliability, connectivity, and transparency.

Reliability means you can count on the systems that support your wire transfer activity, settlement functions, and interbank operations to perform consistently with the security controls and audit capabilities that today’s regulatory environment demands.

Connectivity means reducing friction between your institution’s core systems and iWeb. We are building toward a future where your technology stack and ours work together more seamlessly. The work underway is designed to support modern integration standards that your core banking providers already understand.

Transparency means giving your team better visibility into the activity flowing through iWeb. We want you to have the information you need, when you need it, and in a format that is actionable.

The Board’s Commitment

This investment reflects a clear directive from our board: The Bankers Bank must be a technology-forward correspondent banking partner, not just a well-capitalized one. Community banks deserve a correspondent that moves with the times and treats platform development as a core strategic priority, not an afterthought.

The scope of what has been built, and what continues to be built, is substantial. Our development roadmap has been supported at the highest level of our organization, and we are committed to continuing that investment in the quarters ahead.

Your Ideas Matter Most

Here is something we believe deeply: the best ideas for where this platform should go next will not come from us. They will come from you.

You are on the front lines of community banking every day. You know where the friction is. You know what your teams wish they could do faster, more easily, or with greater confidence. That institutional knowledge is exactly what should shape our development priorities.

We are actively soliciting feedback from you, our respondent bank customers, and we take that input seriously. If you have a workflow that could be streamlined, a reporting need that is going unmet, or a feature you wish existed, we want to hear about it.

Please reach out directly to Jeff Story, CITO, jstory@tbb.bank

There is no formal process or lengthy form required. A simple email describing what would make your team’s experience better is exactly what we are looking for. Your perspective helps us build something that actually serves the people who depend on it.

Thank you for your continued partnership with The Bankers Bank. We are proud to be your correspondent, and we are committed to earning that relationship every day.
