PACB Office Closed, Work Continues PACB staff will be working remotely, effective immediately, in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We hope to be back in the office some time during the week of March 30, but we will be guided by the recommendations of the the Governor, PA Department of Health, and other relevant public health officials in making that decision. Despite the fact that we are taking this extraordinary step, our staff is committed to carrying out ongoing responsibilities. We will be readily accessible by email or by leaving a voicemail on our office phone system. Although we will not be physically present in the PACB office, we are committed to being readily available to our members and allies. Coronavirus Resources for Community Bankers and Consumers The Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers (PACB) is helping support the banking industry and its consumers navigate the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic by offering information and resources from state and federal regulatory agencies, health organizations, and industry allies. Regulatory agencies have encouraged financial institutions to work with customers impacted by the coronavirus. Customers experiencing difficulties beyond their control should work directly with their financial institutions.

Preferred Provider Spotlight Since 1994, ICI has assisted banks and credit unions to assess, cost justify, evaluate and convert core processing, mobile banking, lockbox, lending, document imaging, CRM, check processing, branch and online banking solutions. ICI has performed over 900 engagements for nearly 500 bank and credit union clients in 49 U.S. states and in countries on four continents. As those figures indicate, ICI enjoys repeat engagements with many clients. ICI also provides guidance in vendor management, IT governance, and risk and regulatory compliance. The ICI management team is comprised of former financial industry core processing vendors and banking executives. With a background steeped in industry experience, we truly understand our bank and credit union clients’ needs and goals. Because we have served in senior roles with vendor companies, ICI consultants are in a unique position to negotiate a superior price with meaningful, long-range contractual terms. ICI is a privately held firm which is nimble and cost-effective, compared to large integration firms.
