The new core banking platform will enable the firm to manage its over 270 offices in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota, by offering improved services to its customers, said Associated Banc.

The company has $22bn assets under management, and intends to offer a flexible, yet robust, solution using Enterprise Banker for the requirements of a diverse customer base.

Associated Banc-Corp commercial deposits and treasury management head Eldon Passey said choosing ACI and the Enterprise Banker solution provided the organization with a product that met all of its needs.

"The product comes from a trusted vendor with a proven record of accomplishment in our market. We sought a solution that could be adapted to meet the needs of our existing business customers, as well as supporting our plans for growth. We are confident that Enterprise Banker will allow us to meet the high customer satisfaction goals we have set for ourselves," Passey said.

The new solution allows financial institutions to uniquely package products and services for different market segments, or even individual customers, from a single, flexible product base.

It also caters balance and transaction reporting, ACH and wire transfer origination and reporting, cash concentration and tightly integrated third party applications including bill pay and remote check deposit, claims ACI.
