We made BaZing for two purposes. The first is to help #communitybanks and #creditunions maintain their value and leadership in #communitybanking. The second is to deliver meaningful value to customers/members by offering unique checking products that focus on the benefits of membership rather than the costs of banking. #banks #checkingproducts

We launched BaZing more than two decades ago to help #communitybanks and #creditunions thrive in a transitioning financial services environment. And one the core goals was to build a unique product that accomplished two things: It retained the unique mission and goals of community FIs and It helped community FIs convert their non-primary accounts to primary ones We haven't stopped improving our core products to help create more value for customers/members as well as drive earnings growth for FIs. Another goal has been to make it as easy to implement our products as possible. Today, we're proud to say it now takes as little as three months from contract to go live. #communitybanking #banks #checkingproducts #organicgrowth

There's a general feeling among #communitybanks and #creditunions that the juggernaut of mega banks is an inevitability. But that's not the case. Community FIs are holding their own and can gain ground on the big players by sticking to their roots while also offering the wings that modern banking offers. #checking #banking https://lnkd.in/e-R8U-3p

One more thing to celebrate this December: All these great folks who are celebrating their work anniversaries with us! And to all of those at StrategyCorps, we look forward to a great 2025! #communitybanking

We built BaZing to complement the values that #communitybanking has maintained over the decades. This travel benefit is a great example of how BaZing provides valuable discounts (from travel deals to roadside coverage) to customers/members. #communitybanks #creditunions #checkingproducts

We built BaZing so #communitybanks and #creditunions could have a unique checking product that wasn't about charging fees but about creating membership with significant value for their customers and members. And pressure on OD/NSF fees isn't just about FIs that are at or above the $10 billion threshold. If those banks and CUs have to comply to low or no OD/NSF fees, and lower interchange fees, then they can more readily compete with community FIs that haven't changed their policies or simply massaged around the edges. While on its face these fee reductions look to be something that might hamstring larger FIs, but in fact they'll use this shift as a competitive advantage (and make up for those fees elsewhere). BaZing is about delivering a unique product for community FIs to accomplish two key goals. 1. To provide a product that reinforces the core values of community banks. 2. To help community FIs thrive in a world of increasing competition, especially from mega banks and big regionals. BaZing is built to go from agreement to implementation in as little as three months. It's also been around for more than two decades, and has a roster of hundreds of community FIs that are happy customers. Maybe it's time to think about solving today's challenges with a product that's built for what current and potential customers/members want? #banks #banking #checkingproduct #communitybanking

SMB banking is the lifeblood of #communitybanks and increasingly #creditunions. That's why it's crucial to have a SMB checking product that address the current needs of SMBs - not only the business, but the employees as well. The reason? Well, those leaders and employees can also become retail customers/members. And after talking to more than 1,000 SMBs, we know that nearly 70% of them are looking to switch primary relationships in the next 12 months. Now is the time to make sure your checking products are delivering the kinds of services and value that help differentiate your product from the big guys and local competition. This seminar will discuss what a modern SMB product should deliver and how best to deliver it. We'll see you there! #banks #banking #checkingproducts #SMBs https://lnkd.in/eE2kbJzP

Did you know that more than 66% of #SMBs are looking to change their #banking relationship in the next 12 months? This is a great opportunity for #communitybanks and #creditunions. It allows these banking Davids an opportunity to sling a few rocks at the Goliath mega banks and big regionals. How? By delivering refreshed and relevant SMB checking products that deliver valuable services to owners, workers, and their customers while also helping community FIs boost their primacy, organic growth, and revenue. It takes more than simply competing on interest rates to create a valuable long-term relationship with SMBs. The stat above is proof. And how do we know the stat above is true? Because we asked more than 1,000 SMBs what they wanted in a checking product. And then we built a product to deliver on their needs. It's Old School community commercial banking for the contemporary world. The article gives you an idea of what we've built. #banks #communitybanking BaZing #BaZingBiz https://lnkd.in/eyPsReQU

We built BaZing to help revive #communitybanking for #communitybanks and #creditunions, putting their customers/members first by delivering important features that build a deeper financial relationship between both the FIs and their customers/members. #checking #financialempowerment
