Bankers Only

Built by community banking exclusively for community banks. No outsiders. Period.

OUR COMMITMENT

BHB is committed to giving back to community banks in partnership with the state bank associations that support them. 

The Handshake

We’ve gone to great lengths to make this bankers only, please help us keep it that way!

The BHB Mission

For the past decade, “experts” have prognosticated the end of community banking.

Regulatory burden, changing customer expectations and warp speed technological evolution, they say, are just too much for community banks to weather.

We believe that the fight for community banking is far from over but, to win, we’re going to need more collaboration, better data and less misinformation from those who are telling a story that only benefits them.  It’s time to write a new story for ourselves.

We believe Bankers can make the right decisions and thrive if they have the right information.  Period.

That’s why FedFis has pioneered an entirely new way for banks to band together, by forming a community of bankers, where conversations are driven by fact and data.  We believe that the best way to plan the way forward is to remember where community banking began, with community and trust.

Let’s Band Together, Let’s Save Community 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, Founder and CEO of FedFis, the creator of the platform.

RockPointBank is excited to be part of the BHB ecosystem, where valuable connections and partnerships are fostered. We were looking for ways to supplement our core strategy of serving local businesses and professionals and decided to explore BaaS. The BHB ecosystem has provided us with the education and support we need to confidently take the next step, and the opportunity to meet the right people to help us execute. We are looking forward to the opportunities in front of us and supporting the community bank network that is so important to the banking landscape.

BHB has been created by people who are passionate about the purpose of community banking, so it all starts there. It is the digital manifestation of a spirit of helping which is both practical and has a human touch, especially because it is easy to know the people behind it. When I think about bank data, or the universe of banks/fintechs or trying to solve a challenge of any kind, BHB is a useful resource that adds value.

The independent community banking business model is in jeopardy.  Over the last 20 years, the number of FDIC insured institutions has retreated 48% from 9,613 in 2001 to 4,951 2021 YTD.  The urgency with which we must act to save our industry has never been greater than it is right now.  Rising compliance costs and regulatory burden, coupled with self-indulgent consultants, vendors, and providers are debilitating our proud industry.  We must band together to protect our livelihood, and Bankers Helping Bankers is our first cannon shot to stave off continued industry consolidation. 

BHB is the perfect resource to liberate those bankers who are facing competitive headwinds.  Here, bankers can find the tools, resources, and friends to help them realize the true value of their bank charter.  Banks don’t need to sell to maximize value or gain efficiencies.  Bankers need to leverage their most valuable asset – their charter – by considering new ways of doing business with FinTechs and as sponsor banks or direct banks.  This is how you maximize value!  We can’t keep doing things the way we always have, so I urge you, in the name of community banking, to check out Bankers Helping Bankers; help yourself and your fellow banker so that we may continue to wave our flag proudly.

Inside The Platform

BHB is a social community at its core, that’s why its called bankers helping bankers. At the foundation, our intelligence layer powers the community engagement, acting as a social engine. We achieve this data driven engagement in these key ways:

Vendor Due Diligence

The technology selection process has long been broken. You need vendors that integrate with your current technology that pass the regulatory hurdle of “three live installs”. Using AI algorithms, Vendor Selector (c) precisely defines your recommended product shortlist

Smart Vendor Directory

Definitive list of vendors with at least one live bank install. Learn where vendors serve their customers best by asset size and financial KPIs of their install base.

FinTech Directory

All U.S. FinTechs that provide a banking function (requires a sponsor bank). It is the only directory built by data so you can ensure completeness. Search all features and App store data (number of installs, age of App, ratings, and view the digital experience of the FinTech). 

Bank Digital Snapshot

Find your bank peers, view their app’s digital experience, financial KPIs, and call report financial KPIs.

Education

Get data-driven education and thought leadership to stay on the cutting-edge of news and industry trends.
