Firstrust Bank to implement the One Vikar solution to provide a complete modern end-to-end lending experience for its clients and employees.
OLD BRIDGE N.J. June 5, 2023 -- Vikar Technologies (“Vikar”), a leading provider of unified, straight-through digital experiences for the financial services industry announced today that Firstrust Bank has selected Vikar to deliver its One Vikar solution for Firstrust’s commercial loan lifecycle management processes.
The One Vikar solution automates and streamlines manual processes (paper, email, spreadsheets) while providing a seamless experience for both commercial loan borrowers and bank employees. It greatly reduces the time spent to originate, onboard and service commercial loans by providing an end-to-end digital process straight through to the core banking system.
Vikar is the only company offering straight through digital processing for account opening, lending, KYC, annual reviews, and custom reporting across commercial, retail, and wealth management business lines. Instead of business units operating in silos, financial institutions can now cross-sell from one business unit to the next based on a common level of access to client information.
“Vikar enhanced our current loan origination process to handle all commercial loan types from complex C&I to small business with a modern automated solution that connects to our core,” said Mathew Hein, EVP and Managing Director of Commercial Banking at Firstrust Bank. “We are thrilled that our clients and employees will now share a unified digital experience through an industry leading solution.”
“We are excited to be a part of Firstrust’s digital transformation initiative as they are such an innovative forward-thinking bank focused on their client experience,” said Adam Bieser, COO of Vikar. “Firstrust’s implementation of our One Vikar solution allows them to deliver a great experience for their customers while increasing the volume of loans they originate, onboard and service.”
