Community financial institutions pride themselves on personalized relationships with their clients. But commercial bankers are assigned more relationships than any one person can reasonably manage, leading to missed opportunities. Loans approaching renewal get refinanced elsewhere before the banker can have the conversation, or customers ready for a larger line of credit turn to a competitor that called first.

Reported volumes totaled $4.51 trillion in the first quarter of 2026 — more than double the amount at the same time last year — and market capitalization grew 49% from January-November 2025, according to crypto analytics platform DefiLlama.

A regulator asks for a trend analysis across complaint categories. One institution produces it in minutes. Another needs two weeks and a spreadsheet. The difference isn’t the artificial intelligence (AI), it’s whether the AI can reach the data. Strong compliance output depends on data spread across departments and platforms. Risk appetite, policies, exam history and vendor files often sit in separate systems, which is why the work has been so manual.

After spending more than seven years working for Bank of America Corp. and Capital One Financial Corp., Ed Barry in 2012 took over as the CEO of a community bank with a specific goal in mind. He wanted commercial and industrial (C&I) deposits to drive the business just like they do at those larger banks. “At the big banks, we’ve always led with deposits and TM [treasury management], and then you pull the loan through,” says Barry.

| FinXTech
At most financial institutions, fraud and dispute management shows up on the expense line, not the strategy agenda. Cases move, and exams usually come and go without major findings. It seems manageable. In reality, disputes sit at the costly intersection of regulatory compliance and network adherence. Noncompliance to both yields the same consequences, but rules and requirements vary by institution.

All community bankers need to answer four fundamental strategic questions when it comes to relationship banking: What type of customer do I want to serve? How do I engage those customers, bring them onboard and capture their wallet? How do I manage the evolving risk associated with that relationship?

President Donald Trump expects Congress to pass the Digital Market Clarity Act of 2025 by July 4. The legislation would provide a framework for the regulation of cryptocurrency and other digital assets. But banking groups say, as currently written, it could allow some stablecoin issuers to pay rewards that look like yield.

Therefore, all technology decisions should be made based on the brand and strategic needs of the combined organization, says Kirk Coleman, chief business officer for Q2.
