On Thursday, July 7th, Travillian had the opportunity to speak with a trio of bank executives, each at different stages of their tech-forward journey. In a nod to their innovation accomplishments, Communities First Financial Corporation and Central Payments are also members of the Travillian NEXT Tech Forward Bank Index. And spoiler alert, it’s very likely First Fed will also join this select group in the near future.

Hosts Brian Love, Travillian’s Head of Banking & Fintech, and Joe Fenech, Chief Investment Officer at GenOpp Capital Management, led a stimulating discussion with First Fed President and CEO Matt Deines, Communities First Financial Corporation President and CEO Steven Miller, and Central Payments President and Founder Trent Sorbe on the evolution of becoming a tech-forward bank and what it means for the bottom line.
