By Delisha Fernandes

True Digital Group, a vendor discovery and performance platform provider, has announced its partnership with the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America (MBCA), a distinct and singularly focused “self-help” community for mid-size banks.

Brent Tjarks, Executive Director at MBCA, said, “Our new utility, powered by True Digital, helps level the playing field for mid-size banks, enabling them to collaboratively leverage the memberships collective vendor experiences and analytical tools at scale and apply data-driven insights as only larger banks previously could.”

The True Digital Platform is designed to support financial institutions as they work to discover, vet, implement and monitor technology vendors. It manages and provides neutral insights that empower these institutions to better navigate technology partnerships through action-oriented data, experience-based insights from peer financial institutions and connections native to bankers.

“The time, cost and frustration of vetting, onboarding and monitoring new technology vendors is something that impacts banks of all sizes,” said Jeff Starke, CIO at Republic Bank and Trust, an MBCA member bank. “This platform will completely change how we find vendors and better understand their performance within a financial institution. This will have a huge impact on our ability to innovate for our customers.”

For financial institutions, choosing new technology partners demands significant time spent performing due diligence and getting references to ensure the partner is equipped to serve them. Our platform makes that process significantly easier.”

Patrick Sells, CEO and Co-Founder of True Digital, said, “As more financial institutions embrace the True Digital Platform and realize the capabilities it has to revolutionize navigating the vendor selection process, this strong partnership with MBCA will be a catalyst in getting more of them excited about joining our community.
