Our clients are community banks located
throughout the United States, from Homestead,
Florida to Seattle, Washington. Our clients
range in size from $25 million to $6 billion. By customizing solutions
to each bank’s needs, we have helped all types
of organizations become more successful, whether
they are geographically dispersed independent
units or part of a concentrated, multi-bank
holding company. One thing our clients have in
common is that they are virtually all located in
extremely competitive markets.
We believe that every community bank in the
country can increase its earnings by at least 10
basis points with an increased focus on
financial management. In fact, most banks can
increase their earnings by 20 to 50 basis
points. Only two factors will determine if we
will be successful working with your
organization. One, your people must have open
minds. And two, you really want to increase your
earnings and grow your core customer base. We’ll
let our clients tell the rest of the story.

element. Added level of discipline
to pricing and rate setting.

You

overcoming lender objections.

ongoing basis is of great value.
– R. Thornwell Dunlap, III,

Margin
management recommendations are
objective, easily understood and
easily implemented. Internal
“buy-in” is simple because ideas are
based on logical, market based
facts. They take the subjectivity
out of using the “Across the Street”
pricing index.
– Sam B. Hay III, Chairman/CEO |
|
 |
You
have delivered everything that
you’ve promised. USBA helped us
evaluate our pricing methods,
particularly on deposits, and we are
becoming more disciplined and more
profitable as a result of that
discipline.
– Joe Van Tol,
Chairman/President/CEO |
|
 |
USBA
has an unusual ability to take big
picture detail and reduce it down to
information that can be used to help
improve margins. Ability to present
complex data to the management
group, helping everyone see macro as
well as micro issues.
– Ken Heiser, President/CEO |
|
 |
My
experience with USBA has been
tremendous. The guidance I have been
given has helped me to perform my
job more effectively and the tools I
have received help make my job more
objective and less subjective.
– Robert M. Smith, Executive Vice
President |
|
 |
USBA
handles objections and obstacles in
a very business like approach.
– Scott Wiggers, President
|
|
 |
I
think the training sessions are more
valuable than the model.
– Ed Garding, President and CCO,
Billings Office |
|
 |
It
fine tuned our deposit pricing
process by formalizing the system of
review & feedback. It gave business
justification to product
modifications that had been rejected
previously as being "operations
driven."
– Dean Tingey, Operations
Division Manager |
|
 |
Using
the module has been an eye opener.
In some cases, loans that I thought
would be profitable, were not. The
module gives you a way to play with
the terms to make a deal work.
– Regina R. Miller, Senior Vice
President |
