DCI Celebrates a Historic Milestone
HUTCHINSON, Kansas – January 7, 2025. DCI, a leader in the development of core processing and digital banking solutions, has announced an outstanding year for 2024, achieving a record in core conversion sales that further solidifies its commitment to support community banks.
In a landscape marked by challenges posed by various actors in the finance sector, DCI has upheld its focus on delivering high-quality, reliable solutions aimed specifically at the needs of community banking institutions. With a philosophy centered on sustainable growth and a commitment to quality over sheer volume, DCI has witnessed a significant surge in demand for its innovative technological solutions and collaborative culture. The company successfully inked 16 new core processing contracts and secured two additional Fintech partnerships, creating a strong pipeline for 2025 with multiple clients planning acquisitions of other financial entities.
As Layne Hanson, DCI’s Vice President of National Sales, remarks, “We’re 100% bank-owned, which gives us profound insight into the importance of integrity, community, and genuine partnership.” This emphasis on meaningful partnerships has allowed DCI to thrive during a time when many industry players are struggling with instability and workforce reductions.
Tech solutions that prioritize customer satisfaction and operational excellence have enabled DCI to resonate with market demands. The firm’s focused approach to maintaining high standards in execution sets it apart from those who chase unchecked rapid growth. Instead, DCI has strategically expanded its workforce and resources to ensure that as its clientele expands, the attention and support each customer receives remains unwavering.
