Old Bridge, NJ, September 2, 2025 – [Vikar Technologies](https://www.vikartech.com) (“Vikar”), a leading provider of  
unified, straight-through digital experiences for the financial services industry, is proud  
to announce a partnership with [First Commerce Bank](https://www.firstcommercebk.com/) (“FCB”), aimed at digitizing and  
streamlining the bank’s account opening process.

This strategic collaboration supports First Commerce Bank’s mission to foster lasting  
relationships by providing high-quality products, superior customer service, and secure,  
cutting-edge digital solutions. By digitizing its account opening process, the bank  
reinforces its commitment to meet evolving customer needs with responsive, user-  
friendly experiences—whether online or in-branch. Vikar’s technology complements  
FCB’s dedication to maintaining personal communication and delivering solutions that  
reflect professionalism, trust, and integrity.

“Vikar provides exceptional support,” said Stephanie Ennett, VP of Digital Banking &  
Product Development. “Having the COO and CTO involved early on, clearly outlining  
the implementation process and what to expect post go-live, made a real difference. As  
a growing community bank without a large internal team to manage the solution, we  
needed a high level of hands-on support. That became especially clear after working  
with another fintech that didn’t offer the same level of partnership.” FCB’s COO, Greg  
Garcia, added: “I can’t just pick up the phone and talk to the CEO at other providers but  
with Vikar, I can call Glenn Bolstad, their CEO, directly. That kind of access and  
responsiveness truly sets them apart.”

By adopting Vikar’s platform, First Commerce Bank will reduce dependency on paper  
forms, eliminate redundant data entry, streamline KYC, and enhance real-time  
collaboration across departments. These upgrades directly reflect the bank’s values:  
fostering loyalty through trusted relationships, staying accountable, responding  
promptly, thinking from the customer’s perspective, and continuously improving. FCB’s  
Board of Directors and team members remain united in their commitment to serve  
individuals, businesses, and communities with fairness, innovation, and personal  
attention.

“We’re thrilled to support First Commerce Bank in this important step toward digital  
transformation,” said Glenn Bolstad, CEO at Vikar. “Their team recognizes that account  
opening is a defining moment in the customer journey, and we’re proud to deliver the  
tools that make it smarter, faster, and elevate the entire customer experience from the  
very start.”
