Payment Processing Solutions | Lead Bank Community Bank



Why Lead Bank Payment Processing

Lead Bank's secure bank payment solutions create value for businesses, consumers and partners across a variety of industries. Our mission is to be at the heart of the success of our communities. We define the word communities not just by geography but also by those industries and people that have traditionally experienced a more challenging time accessing traditional banking services, like payment processing solutions. Therefore, we specialize in working with online lenders, state licensed lenders, tribal entities, third party payroll processors, money service businesses and others.

 

At Lead Bank, our focus is on compliance. As a $750 million asset sized national digital community bank, we have a proportionately large compliance team to ensure regulatory requirements are met. 


We have knowledge in card processing, payment processing and program management disciplines. We identify and advocate for the needs of our partners and clients and then develop an in-depth implementation plan built around your specific program. You can count on our team of Bankers to work with you to develop the most effective payment solutions so you can succeed.



Preparing Your Business for the Future of Payments

Consider some of these questions as you prepare your business for faster payments. 

  • How many payments does your business make in a month?
  • How many payments does your business receive in a month?
  • Has your business evaluated the payment methods you accept from customers, vendors and business partners to pay for your products/services?
  • Do the accounts payable/accounts receivable software you use support various payment methods – ACH, wires, checks? 

  • What controls does the software have built within to monitor for payment authority, prevention of insider fraud/ embezzlement? 
  • What would it cost and what level of effort would it take to upgrade the accounts payable/accounts receivable software to ensure it supports faster payment methods?
  • What impacts to the business cash flow would occur if the business decided to use faster payments for both accounts payable and accounts receivable?
