What Makes MANTL Attractive to Community Banks?
MANTL helps community banks punch above their weight by turning digital account opening into a profitable, brand-right growth engine. It layers a modern experience on top of legacy cores, so you can grow deposits, protect margins, and keep the high-touch relationships that define your charter.
Community banks are drawn to MANTL because it combines a fast, consumer-grade digital experience with deep core integrations, tailored configuration, and strong unit economics. It allows your institution to launch high-converting account opening across branches and digital, without abandoning your charter, core, or relationship-first culture. Teams see higher funded accounts, lower cost-per-acquisition, faster time-to-value, and better insight into which marketing plays actually drive deposits and primary relationships.

- Discover growth levers: Identify priority segments (new-to-bank, indirect, small business), target geographies, and products (DDA, savings, CDs, money markets) where MANTL’s experience will move the needle.
- Design journeys & guardrails: Map end-to-end onboarding journeys (digital and branch-assisted), define risk rules and KYC controls, and align marketing, operations, and compliance on KPIs.

- Govern with a revenue council: Review MANTL performance monthly across marketing, finance, operations, and compliance to ensure growth stays aligned with margin and risk appetite.
