This will be a full-service bank with mortgage, consumer, commercial, and agricultural lenders available, in addition to financial advisers and a variety of competitive deposit products. We are working with Adrenaline, a leading international design and implementation firm serving the financial services industry to create the Legence Bank of the future in 2019. They have been a premier provider of growth solutions for financial institutions, helping organizations advance by focusing on the design and delivery of customer and employee experiences.
From ideation through implementation, Legence Bank will be crafting a unique customer journey.
This journey will include allowing customers to experience the physical space within the branch in a more relaxed and casual setting. By removing traditional teller lines, introducing Universal Bankers, and celebrating an open floor plan, employees will instantly connect with the customers they serve. By designing a more holistic branch delivery model.
Legence Bank employees and customers will be better able to connect in a more energized, modernized, and relationship-friendly manner.
