Citizens State Bank (CSB), a community-focused financial institution headquartered in Ouray, Colorado, has selected the Apiture Digital Banking Platform to enhance its digital and mobile banking services for both individual and business customers.

The partnership marks a strategic move by CSB to modernise its banking infrastructure in response to increasing demand for intuitive, self-service digital solutions. With a growing base of business accounts, the bank aims to provide a more seamless, feature-rich experience through Apiture’s suite of digital banking products.

Under the agreement, CSB will implement Apiture’s Consumer Banking, Business Banking, and Data Intelligence solutions. These tools will provide enhanced functionality for business customers, including streamlined cash management and expanded payment capabilities, allowing users to manage their finances securely from any location.

In addition to enhancing banking features, the collaboration includes the deployment of Apiture’s Digital Account Opening solution. This will enable both retail and commercial customers to open and fund new accounts online, eliminating the need for in-branch visits and promoting greater convenience and accessibility.

Founded in 1913, Citizens State Bank has long prioritised the needs of its local community while embracing innovation. The adoption of Apiture’s platform reflects CSB’s commitment to evolving alongside customer expectations and ensuring long-term service sustainability.

The digital transformation aligns with the bank’s broader vision of supporting local economic growth through modern, customer-centric banking solutions. By investing in advanced digital capabilities, CSB continues to strengthen its role as a trusted financial partner in the region.

“At Citizens State Bank, we are committed to supporting our community’s economic success by keeping deposits local and investing in the growth of our neighbours,” said Alexander Price, President and CEO of Citizens State Bank. Partnering with Apiture enables us to extend our mission beyond our branches, providing customers with secure and intuitive digital banking services that make banking on their terms easier than ever, whether in person or online. This development will allow us to invest in our business relationships while providing a more integrated and holistic approach to managing financial well-being.”
