The advantages of deciding as a group
One bank negotiating alone has limited leverage and limited information. A network of banks comparing notes has both.
- Vendor fit based on your core system
- Peer references from other bankers
- Pricing guidance through cohort leverage
- Curated introductions to solution providers
- Regular insights and live demos
- Collaboration with other state associations
