40 NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019 PSP SHOWCASE PSP Year-End Summary 2019 Starting point for your service provider needs Rod Lasley Vice President - Products & Services Indiana Bankers Association rlasley@indianabankers.org @rodlasley As we wrap up another year, now is an ideal time to recognize those organizations which partner with the Indiana Bankers Association. IBA’s Preferred Service Providers are extremely helpful in allowing us to provide our membership with top-quality product-and-service offerings. To ensure that the IBA is endorsing qualified, viable products and services, the board of the IBA Service Corporation regularly reviews all PSP relationships. As a result, we can ensure that each PSP is dedicated to serving Indiana banks at the highest level, providing them with the value-added products or services that allow them to remain competitive in today’s challenging market. While first and foremost helping banks succeed, our PSPs are also deeply committed to the Association and its success. They support the IBA on many levels, including committee involvement, trade show participation, Hoosier Banker article contributions, meeting attendance, information resources, and so much more. The non-dues revenue they provide helps keep IBA bank member dues among the lowest in the nation, plus allows for attractive pricing at IBA’s many conferences and events. As part of IBA’s continual vetting process, this year we have added one new PSP, Gradifi, and an IBA partnership, IBA Insurance Solutions. As 2020 approaches, we look forward to continuing to enhance the strong partnerships that help IBA-member banks succeed.
