Mi BANK, which is based in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, is focused on serving the financial needs of mid-size and commercial businesses.
Mi BANK founder, chairman and CEO Rob Farr said: “Local businesses like to bank with local financial institutions that understand the dynamics and challenges they face.
“Fiserv gives us the technology foundation we need and has demonstrated flexibility in accommodating us as a new bank looking to address a gap in our market.”

The bank will combine the principles of community banking with access to the specialized capabilities that businesses need.

With focus on offering resilient technology-driven solutions, Mi BANK will implement full suite of solutions such as core account processing, commercial lending, digital banking, remote deposit capture, wire transfers, and 24/7 account opening services to its customers.
Besides technology implementation, the company will also offer training to Mi BANK’s staff, to help them in maximize features of their technology investment.
