Minnesota-based Border Bank has partnered with Jack Henry to upgrade its technology infrastructure, enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency to support future growth.

Border Bank was founded in 1935 to meet agricultural needs along Minnesota’s Canadian border and has grown to serve a wide range of industries in North Dakota and metro Minneapolis, including manufacturing, hospitality, and commercial real estate. As the bank approaches $1 billion in assets, it needs an open and flexible technology platform to manage growth and help meet increasing demands with existing resources.

Jack Henry’s core processing system will replace dated processes, improving operational efficiency and streamlining workflows. Retail, business, and enterprise commercial clients will have access to a digital front door to manage their financial needs through Banno Digital Platform™, Banno Business™, and JHA Treasury Management™.

“Jack Henry won our business because of their commitment to innovation, transparency, and customer service,” said Tammy Stanton, Chief Operating Officer at Border Bank. “Their clear vision for the future, openness, and strong reputation for delivering on commitments gave us confidence that they were the right long-term fit for us. Their modern technology and plug-and-play philosophy will help us better meet the needs of our growing customer base and differentiate ourselves from competitors.”

With access to over 950 API-integrated, third-party FinTechs through Jack Henry’s open ecosystem, Border Bank can easily differentiate according to their unique business strategy. Moreover, Jack Henry’s technology modernisation strategy will provide a steady stream of modern service components in the public cloud, maintaining a strategic edge going forward.

Jonathan Baltzell, President of Bank Solutions at Jack Henry, said, “Border Bank is a great example of a community bank that has been integral to the development in its region, providing businesses and families with the reliable financial support they need. At Jack Henry, we are proud to equip them with modern technology to enhance their services while also laying the foundation for a long-term technology strategy to serve their communities for many generations to come.”
