StrategyCorps is a team of former retail and business bankers, and other professionals who are experts in checking line-up strategy, account design, and marketing and branch sales effectiveness. We have previously worked directly with banks in the retail or business checking areas. Our collective experience with checking accounts is over 120 years. We complement our experience by continuously studying and learning from banks with the most successful performing and innovative personal and business checking line-ups.

Founded in 2000, StrategyCorps is headquartered in Nashville, TN with offices throughout the U.S. serving our client base. Our founding partners have grown several successful companies serving the banking industry in the areas of deposit gathering, fee revenue generation, small business lending, online career management, marketing publications, and corporate governance. These companies — including StrategyCorps — today count more than 5,000 banks of all sizes as clients, resulting in nearly ten million bank customer relationships.

Why does StrategyCorps focus solely on checking accounts?
Because they are the low cost deposit and fee income lifeblood of your bank. They are your bank’s primary and perpetual link to your customers. Customers call the bank with their checking account, “My Bank”. So when your bank has the customer’s checking account, it is best positioned to own more financial relationships with that customer.

If your customers have a positive experience related to their checking account relationship – a deftly handled account opening or change, no surprise or hassle fees, or account benefits that save them time and money – then those customers will keep more money in your bank, buy other services and products, maintain their relationship longer and be more profitable.

Research states the present value of a personal checking account is around $2,500 and $7,500 for a business checking account. So it handsomely rewards your bank to prioritize and implement successful personal and business checking strategies. Banks with an organically growing, profitable retail and business-checking portfolio experience stock valuation premiums up to 15% (BAI, 2004).
