Baker Hill, a leading financial technology provider in delivering solutions for loan origination, risk management, and analytics has announced partnering with Baker Boyer National Bank, the premiere bank for Walla Walla in Washington.

Through the collaboration, Baker Boyer will implement Baker Hill NextGen, Baker Hill’s unified solution that streamlines loan origination for commercial lending. Baker Hill NextGen is a single unified platform that streamlines loan origination and portfolio risk management for commercial, small business and consumer lending, delivers sophisticated analytics and marketing solutions, and is considered the expert solution for relationship management, CECL and analytics for financial institutions.

Baker Boyer opened in 1869, making it the first bank in what would become the state of Washington. The bank celebrated 150 years in 2019 and has a proven track record of helping create family legacies grown locally. Since its founding, Baker Boyer’s group of trust financial advisors has developed ways to lead and innovate to support local families along their financial journeys. Through the alliance with Baker Hill, Baker Boyer will bring a new level of innovation and technology to its community.

“The entire Baker Hill team was incredibly engaged throughout the entire process and really made us feel like we’re entering into a long-term partnership. We’re looking forward to enhancing our practices and finding improved, more efficient ways to make our offerings better for our community,” said Mario Delgadillo, Regional Business Banking Manager of Baker Boyer National Bank.

Baker Boyer’s decision to move to Baker Hill NextGen was driven by a desire to serve customers more efficiently while offering the best resources for commercial lending. Baker Hill’s ability to provide a full advisory services team as well as a single unified solution made the firm the standout choice in the marketplace. With its customer’s end goal in mind, Baker Boyer is looking forward to blending the benefits of the technology with the feeling of community that Baker Hill brings to the table.

Baker Boyer plans to implement Baker Hill NextGen in a 2-part process, with the first deployment focusing on commercial lending and the second phase concentrating on consumer and small business.

“We are thrilled to partner with Baker Boyer. We know how important the community of Walla Walla is to their team and we are excited to help them create new efficiencies with Baker Hill NextGen,” said John M. Deignan, president and chief executive officer of Baker Hill.
