Community Bankers Association of Kansas (CBAK) is pleased to announce its participation with the FedFis and state community banking associations nationwide to offer access to Bankers Helping Bankers to its member banks in Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bankers Helping Bankers is a bankers-only platform for collaboration and education. Through data tools and dynamic user groups, Bankers Helping Bankers provides community bankers with a knowledge base focused on bank technology and emerging Fintech companies, as well as hot topics such as cryptocurrencies, banking as a service, and direct digital banking.
"Bankers Helping Bankers is about community banks coming together to address their shared challenges, operate more efficiently and discover new sources of income," said Dave Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of FedFis, the developer of the platform.
FedFis partnered with the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) to bring the idea for Bankers Helping Bankers to life. "The future of community banking depends on their collaboration. For decades, banking associations have offered the means of collaboration for bankers, mostly using face-to-face gatherings. But those means are no longer enough because the industry is changing too quickly. Bankers Helping Bankers is the next iteration of the traditional value proposition of associations - the promise that together we can accomplish more than we ever could alone," said IBAT President and CEO Christopher Williston.
"The community banking industry is moving at break-neck-speed and our bankers need a platform like this to help them navigate the emerging "fintech" products and services available to them, while at the same time being able to communicate and learn from bankers looking at, or already utilizing, these products on their same core," said Shawn Mitchell, President and CEO of CBAK. "We are really excited to be able to offer this to our members."
