Community banks receive added value when partnering with SHAZAM due to the organization’s structure and focus on their business partners. SHAZAM is owned by the financial institutions they serve, giving them a voice and a vote in the direction of the organization. They don’t answer to shareholders, allowing them to reinvest their profits into the technology they build. Community bankers can also count on talking to a SHAZAM expert at a moment’s notice. SHAZAM’s client support team tops the industry at delivering fast, personalized service, with over 95% of all SHAZAM service calls being resolved the same day.

“When Iowa community banks choose SHAZAM, they’re choosing a responsive partner who actively seeks ways to help our members compete and thrive,” says Mike Gathman, CBI CEO. “Their cost-effective, innovative solutions, along with their superior customer service, results in a dynamic partnership that ensures community banks have the high-quality products and services they need to best serve their customers.”
