The network services help UMB Bank deliver on its strategy to migrate from a disparate Private Branch Exchange (PBX) communications system to a standard Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) platform.

Under the terms of the agreements, AT&T is providing Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, equipment maintenance services and a dedicated account team to support UMB Bank's VoIP strategy.

Most important, this technology will enable UMB Bank to offer enhanced services to better serve its customers:

  • Enhanced Online Banking: The 24-hour online banking allows consumers to apply for loans and get approvals within minutes, transfer funds and use online bill payment, and Podcasts that educate consumers about financial basics.
  • Enhanced Phone Banking: This provides customers with access to account balances, loan information and check-clearing information and the ability to transfer funds between accounts, order checks or to locate the nearest UMB Bank location or ATM machine.
  • Additional Enhanced Services: This offers Web hosting for various organizations, as well as a highly reliable network and ATM machines that offer secure transactions.


UMB Bank selected AT&T as the provider of choice for this initiative because AT&T offered a secure and reliable solution.

"When UMB Bank set out to migrate to a VoIP system, we needed a solution that would not only provide a secure network but also a way to do business more efficiently," said Bill Taylor, vice president of Network Engineering, UMB Bank. "Considering these needs, AT&T stood out as the clear choice."

UMB Bank's migration to AT&T's network has enabled UMB Bank to operate all of its branches under one platform - providing cost-efficiencies by eliminating a silo-structured work function.

AT&T's network allows the secure, reliable transport of critical applications across a unified global platform. The network also enables communication with remote and local employees, customers and vendors.
