We’re continuing to grow here at Merchants – and our community businesses deserve experts with years of experience and the knowledge to help your business thrive. Meet some of our new additions to the Merchants Bank Commercial team.
Nick Benz, Treasury Management Sales Officer Lead, Onalaska Nick is a Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) and brings 17 years of Treasury Management and banking experience to Merchants. He was most recently a Treasury Management Payment Consultant for US Bank and has spent the majority of his career providing businesses of all sizes with expertise in this area. “One of the tips I have is a little technical, but has been a huge time-saver for a lot of businesses,” Nick shares. “If you use Quickbooks, check to see if your business’s online banking system has a direct connection to that system. With our Commercial Online Banking, businesses can ‘link’ their Quickbooks program. This connection makes balancing your books go a lot smoother and generally is more accurate than doing it by hand. If you have questions about this connection or other Commercial Online Banking functionalities, contact one of our Treasury Management experts.” Read Nick’s full Press Release or Q&A
Patrick Bye, Commercial Banker, Lakeville Patrick brings 15 years of banking experience in the Minneapolis and Rochester markets with him to Merchants. His best tip for businesses is simple: “Honestly, it might sound cliché, but every business truly is unique, and that’s why it’s important to have open and consistent communication with your banker,” said Patrick. “One size solutions do not fit all and in order to make sure your business’s needs are being met, we want to be having conversations with you about what is currently going on and coming up for your organization.” He enjoys being involved in the local business communities through the Chamber of Commerce, Rochester Area Builders Association, Rochester Area Economic Development Initiative and CEDA.
