Our goal is to know our banks so well that we can anticipate their changing needs and to proactively provide the right solutions,” explains Neville. “The better you know your customer, the better chance of success. Knowing your customer is key.” Interstate Business Equipment , our parent company, was found- ed in Omaha, Nebraska in 1963 to provide community banks with hardware, sales, and support services. Two fundamental philoso- phies have always been our driving force: 1. We believe our customers are our partners. 2. We will provide a complete solution to our customers. For more than 50 years, we have continued to be independent, and to build our business based on providing a total solution and a strong partnership with our clients. Modern Banking Systems was founded in 1975 and quickly established itself as a single-source core data processing provider. To- day, we’re a leading provider of core banking software and solutions for community banks. We are a small company made up of some really big thinkers. “There are the big four and the rest of us smaller core providers. There’re certainly pros and cons to doing business with both to be considered,“ said Neville. “It’s much like banking with a community bank verses a mega bank.” Contact Bob Neville, President, Modern Banking Systems for more information. bobn@modernbanking.com, Toll-free (800) 592-7500 Written by Patty Barone, Marketing Director, Modern Banking Systems Send Your Application in NOW for the 2017 MIB GRADUATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP Receive a $2,500 scholarship to a banking school of your choice for the 2017 year!
