Guaranty Bank & Trust Company Enhances Life in the City of Five Seasons with Open Solutions Technology

Flexibility of new DNA core system lets bank introduce products to market quickly and efficiently.

The people of Cedar Rapids, Iowa call their community the City of Five Seasons. From its beginning in 1934, three generations of family-owned and operated Guaranty Bank & Trust Company have dedicated themselves to delivering the kind of financial services the fifth season stands for: the time and security to enjoy life, and to enjoy the other four seasons.

Harnessing technology to make banking more convenient for its customers was an important service Guaranty Bank was proud to offer. When the bank learned its core technology was being sunset, the bank approached the situation as an opportunity to identify the type of services and capabilities it wanted to provide customers and bank staff in the future.

“We needed something easy to manage and more redundant than what we had at the time,” explained Todd Kerska, senior vice president of operations and information systems at Guaranty Bank & Trust.
