Today's community banks are faced with the distinct challenge of needing to offer big bank services and economies of scale while maintaining the advantages of a true, local community bank. To stay on the cutting edge for bank customers and stakeholders, these banks must innovate with new products and customer service or cede investment opportunities unnecessarily to institutions. To ensure that they are not out-dated by the aggressive brick-and-mortar expansion of competitor banks or the needs of their Internet savvy clientele, progressive community banks are looking to Web-based investment and brokerage tools that allow greater customer control and integration among all their banking, savings and trading needs.
Orbis allows community banks the opportunity to bring this greater level of sophisticated services to its customers while allowing member banks to keep and acquire more of their customer's assets. By maintaining 100% of the client's financial portfolio, community banks can provide all the financial resources needed including the ability to participate in the securities markets at a highly competitive price.
The reality of establishing, marketing and operating an online brokerage service is easier said than done. It requires creating a business plan, building a network infrastructure, activating phone lines, designing a functional Web platform, computer systems, marketing material and campaigns, staffing and ultimately staying abreast of state of the art financial tools and products. With limited time and resources, these milestones involved to develop and launch proprietary online brokerage systems have previously kept community banks out of the brokerage business. This is no longer the case.
