"I'm fairly certain we'll never build another branch again.
Attracting core deposits is very difficult for community banks these days. Add to that the fact that expenses are rising as margins are shrinking, and a real online branch is the only way to compete against the big box banks.
Advertising in its traditional sense delivers little-to-no ROI. It's expensive and doesn't get the deal done - it doesn't sell.
We realized that we needed an online strategy focused on driving revenue. BancVue Interactive delivered on our strategy with FIRSTBranch.
BancVue Interactive is our online marketing partner. They give us the competitive edge against the megabanks and the netbanks."

"When we started thinking about a new website, we knew what we needed: custom design, personalized customer service, and a content management system that allowed us to proactively manage our own Internet presence. BancVue Interactive gave us all of this and more.
Our team at BancVue Interactive worked closely with us to manage the build-out of our custom website. Once the site was built, they opened up the content management system for us to begin inputting copy for our products and services. Changing the content of our site has never been faster or easier.
Once the site was built, we began submitting all of the changes that we wanted that were in their purview, like creating links, changing page formatting, and other things like that. BancVue Interactive's response time was excellent: most changes were taken care of within one business day.
They helped us go from a static, outdated site to a top-of-the-line interactive lead generator. We now have a dynamic online branch to help build a community around our services."

"When we first launched our BancVue Interactive microsite, everyone on our team was glad to have such a professional, technology-forward sales tool on our side. It sold REWARDChecking so well that our CSRs were using it to explain the account instead of their flipcharts!
When we got our first traffic report back, we saw the real value behind what we had. Our BancVue Interactive Consulting Manager informed us that we had had over 800 visits in the month of May to our site, from over 600 different users! Not only that, but the microsite helped us open over 75 accounts online in the first six weeks of our rollout!
Not only do we have a well-designed, bleeding-edge sales tool to work with, but we also have a proven lead generator funneling deposits into our bank. BancVue Interactive has proven to be an invaluable marketing partner in our fight for deposit share."

"Bank of Little Rock is very pleased with the AWESOME new website BancVue Interactive created for our institution. They worked very hard to create a proactive, marketing oriented website that would excite our customers. We launched our website at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon and by 5:00 p.m. had our FIRST "New Account Application" waiting for our review. The next morning we had two more and it has continued to produce results. That was proof to all of us that ROI had indeed produced the dynamic interactive website we had desired.
The creative team was led by John V. He was great to work with and was able to take our "wants" and turn them into reality. He was able to go the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied with the finished product. Every time there was a question, John was more than able to get back to us with the answer promptly.
Our response from our customers has been GREAT. They love how the new website looks and works. Our prior website was not a productive experience. Since our goal is to be the TOP of the market in Central Arkansas with our new ULTIMATE checking account and with the results we are getting from our new website we are confident we will succeed. Our thanks to the GREAT TEAM at BancVue Interactive for helping us achieve our goal."

"The day before our site launched, BancVue Interactive asked me what email address the email leads from our new site should go to. I gave them my email, thinking I would be handling a request for information about every other day.
Within 24 hours of our site launching, I had already received 10 contacts from customers eager for information on everything from Christmas Club accounts to auto loans.
We had to have a meeting with the staff to discuss how we were going to handle the unexpected volume! Our new FIRSTSite gives us an extra edge in reaching out to our area, one that our competitors can't match.
Now our ad campaigns have a media vehicle: a sales-driven website that started generating leads for us within hours. See it online at www.jdbank.com!"

"Times had changed, and our website had not. Our previous website was built around the "portal" philosophy and was just not competitive in today's online e-commerce landscape. It offered the weather and sports and our products and services were less emphasized. The new site offers better usability and more marketing opportunities.
CNBT has a track record of using technology to keep pace with the megabanks. We knew it was time our website caught up with those efforts. We needed to fight back, and BancVue Interactive gave us the website and e-marketing power to do so.
Our new website from BancVue Interactive uses separate product pages, cross-selling, search engine optimization, send to a friend and a number of other features to make it an effective sales vehicle for new customers. Beyond the bells and whistles of our site though, we know that BancVue Interactive is an online marketing partner that we can count on to keep us at the forefront of online marketing success.
Bottom line: BancVue Interactive exceeded our expectations with the CNBT.com website, and continues to exceed them with superior customer service and on-going support. Their expertise, professionalism and attention to detail have made BancVue Interactive the essential marketing partner in our ongoing battle against the net-banks and the mega-banks."
