Forte Bank has chosen CSI, a provider of end-to-end financial software and technology, as its new core banking partner.
The bank will deploy CSI’s NuPoint® core platform alongside the integrated Apiture® digital banking solution and loan origination tools. The move is intended to modernise the bank’s operations, improve the experience for existing customers, and help attract a younger, more digitally-oriented customer base.
Through NuPoint, Forte Bank will gain expanded commercial banking functionality, including more detailed profitability analysis, adaptable pricing tools, and a consolidated view of customer relationships across the institution. Enhanced data insights and reporting capabilities will further allow the bank to tailor its products and deepen customer engagement.
The Apiture® digital banking platform will bring these capabilities to the customer-facing side of the business, offering a modern and intuitive interface for both personal and business account holders. Built on an API-first architecture, the platform is designed to allow Forte Bank to introduce new features and bring innovations to market at pace. Apiture can be deployed either as a core-agnostic solution or fully integrated with NuPoint, and CSI positions itself as the only core provider to offer a premium digital banking platform fully integrated with its core system.
Headquartered in southeastern Wisconsin, Forte Bank is a community-focused institution with roots in commercial lending and small business banking, alongside a broader suite of consumer services. In seeking a new technology foundation, the bank was looking for a partner able to meet the expectations of current customers while also appealing to a new generation of account holders.
Forte Bank president and CEO Aaron Lensink said, “We knew we needed a partner that could help us innovate more quickly and deliver the kind of modern experience today’s customers expect. CSI stood out for its responsiveness, willingness to truly understand our needs, and ability to bring together core, digital banking, and lending into a single, integrated platform. This positions us to better serve our communities today while also attracting the next generation of customers.”
CSI president and CEO Nancy Langer said, “Forte Bank has a clear vision for how it wants to compete and serve its communities over the long term. By investing in a modern, integrated technology foundation, the bank is positioning itself to operate more efficiently, innovate faster, and deliver the experience its customers expect. We’re proud to support their vision and be part of what’s ahead.”
