Apiture, a leading provider of digital banking solutions, today announced that Ouray, Colo.-based Citizens State Bank (CSB), a trusted, locally owned community bank, has selected the Apiture Digital Banking Platform to power digital banking for both its consumer and business customers.
Founded in 1913, CSB remains dedicated to fostering economic growth in the Colorado communities it serves, staying true to its motto of “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” While the bank honors its legacy, it continues to innovate for the future. With a rising number of business accounts, the bank identified a need to expand self-service capabilities while delivering a more seamless and feature-rich digital banking experience for all customers. By implementing the Apiture Consumer Banking, Business Banking, and Data Intelligence solutions, CSB will introduce enhanced business banking tools, including streamlined cash management and expanded payment capabilities, allowing customers to manage their finances anytime, anywhere.
Additionally, the Apiture Digital Account Opening solution will enable both businesses and consumers to open and fund new accounts digitally without the need to visit a branch. This investment aligns with CSB’s vision for the future of community banking, ensuring it always acts in the long-term best interests of its customers, community, employees, and the institution. By leveraging this new digital banking platform, CSB is making a strategic investment in strengthening its business relationships and equipping its customers with the tools they need to succeed.
“At Citizens State Bank, we are committed to supporting our community’s economic success by keeping deposits local and investing in the growth of our neighbors,” said Alexander Price, President and CEO of Citizens State Bank. “Partnering with Apiture allows us to extend this mission beyond our branches, providing customers with secure, intuitive digital banking services that make it easier than ever to bank on their terms, whether in-person or digitally. This development will allow us to invest in our business relationships while providing a more integrated and holistic approach to managing financial well-being.”
“We are excited to welcome Citizens State Bank, a trusted financial partner that has served its local communities for over a century,” said Chris Cox, COO of Apiture. “Our award-winning platform will empower CSB’s customers with an intuitive and flexible digital banking experience, ensuring both consumers and businesses have the tools they need to manage their finances how, when, and where they choose. Apiture will also allow CSB to provide a best-in-class technology experience, ensuring its customers have access to innovative, user-friendly digital banking solutions that evolve with their needs.”
