OUR PHILOSOPHY
We understand businesses choose local banks because they want a financial partner that is invested in their success. They prioritize a partnership where they’re more than just a number.
We created S.S. Scale to align with community and regional banks’ values, because these are the values we believe in: people who care and best-in-class solutions.
The Scale team are experts in commercial payment solutions for financial institutions. Julie and Nicole have unparalleled commercial banking technology expertise and proven success with multiple technology implementations. Their program management approach simplifies the implementation process and amplifies the results for all parties involved. If you are a commercial payments product leader looking for a trusted partner to help develop and drive your strategy, business case and related solution integration approach, choosing the Scale team is the correct first step.
In comparison to other consultants, my experience with Scale is that they provide ‘muscle’ behind the work. They dig in an get granular if needed—specifically with tasks that are important but very time consuming to allow internal stakeholders time to do their ‘day jobs’. Because they had such deep knowledge of the products and process, they were 10 steps ahead with what needed to get done.
