185: Redefining Entrepreneurial Banking: The MultiFunding & Owners Bank Alliance

In this week’s edition of the AmiSights Podcast, Ami talks with Erik Nilsen, Senior Vice President of Digital Strategic Partnerships at Owners Bank. Erik has a deep Product Management & Digital Banking background that was acquired from years of banking and fintech leadership. He is responsible for acquiring and managing strategic partnerships that help with the growth of Owners Bank. Owners Bank is a division of Liberty Bank based in Middletown, CT, which is one of the most innovative and established banks in the country.

We've been looking for a bank that offers our clients lines of credit along with great technology, and that's exactly what Owners Bank provides. A good bank isn't just about taking deposits and managing a tech platform; it also plays a key role in providing credit. Owners Bank delivers no BS banking to entrepreneurs. We will launch our partnership at the upcoming EO Xcentric conference in Fort Worth.

Owners Bank is currently open for business in Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. We will start in these states and move forward together.

Eric talks about how Owners Bank is redefining small business banking, making it simple for business owners. "We have real people that will pick up the phone when you call, and you're not going to go through an extensive call tree all over the country and different time zones. We predicate ourselves on that high-tech, high-touch approach. If you have questions, you're going to get a real person. We try to be really upfront and focus on the experience.”

Now there is finally a bank that gets you, with tailored products and services that make things easier for business owners with none of the BS.

The main topics of today’s episode include the vision behind empowering entrepreneurs, addressing the gap in small business banking, leveraging technology to provide a seamless banking experience, and the origins of Owners Bank.
