About CorporateConnect: U.S. Commercial Banking Built for Mid-Market Treasuries
Executive Summary
CorporateConnect is a U.S. commercial banking portal founded in 2011 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The platform serves more than 48,000 active mid-market businesses nationwide with wire transfers, ACH origination, treasury management, foreign exchange, commercial credit and consolidated reporting. Operations run under FDIC insurance, OCC national-bank examination, Federal Reserve membership and an independent annual SOC 2 Type II attestation. Client payment volume exceeds $1.4 trillion per year, with 99.98% platform uptime.
Our Mission
CorporateConnect exists to deliver institutional banking infrastructure through a workspace a mid-market treasury team can master in a week, not a quarter.
CorporateConnect was built for a specific and historically under-served segment: U.S. businesses generating $5M to $750M in annual revenue. These companies are too large for consumer online banking, where transaction ceilings, single-user logins and absent approval chains make regulated finance operations impossible. They are also too small for enterprise host-to-host treasury workstations that assume a full-time implementation team and a $250K minimum deal size.
Our mission is to close that gap. Every product decision on CorporateConnect is measured against a single operator question: does this make a three-person treasury team faster, safer and more auditable, or does it not? If the answer is no, the feature does not ship. The U.S. FDIC defines mid-size commercial banking as a segment of roughly 200,000 U.S. businesses; CorporateConnect is purpose-built for that population.
Founding Story
CorporateConnect launched in March 2011 as a quiet internal project to retire three incompatible commercial banking systems acquired through post-2008 consolidation.
In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the parent bank absorbed two regional competitors. The technology inheritance was painful: three separate ACH systems, two legacy wire origination tools and four distinct reporting backends. Commercial clients complained that reconciling balances across entities required three passwords and a spreadsheet. A small engineering team was chartered in late 2010 with a mandate to build one platform that could replace all of it — without interrupting a single client's daily operations.
The initial pilot launched in March 2011 with 212 commercial clients on a unified wire-and-ACH origination module. By December 2011, 3,800 clients had migrated. The platform now called CorporateConnect expanded to treasury management in 2013, foreign exchange in 2015, business credit card controls in 2017, and full ISO 20022 support in 2022. The original design principle — never require a client to log into a second system — still governs every release.

Leadership Principles
Four operating principles govern how CorporateConnect teams build, test and release.
Client Controls Come First
Dual authorization, role-based permissions and audit trails are not configurable add-ons — they are baseline. No feature ships without its control surface designed in parallel with its user experience. Examiners aligned to OCC standards review the control design before release.
Boring is a Feature
A commercial banking portal should be dependable, not exciting. Uptime SLA is 99.98% measured monthly. Releases go out on a scheduled cadence, never on Fridays, and every change has a tested rollback. The platform has had zero unplanned production incidents exceeding 30 minutes in the last 36 months.
Never Break the Audit Trail
Every user action — logins, permission edits, payment approvals, threshold changes — is written to an immutable log retained for seven years. The audit export is what an SEC, FDIC or internal-audit reviewer asks for, and it arrives inside the portal on request, no ticket required.
Mid-Market is the Customer
Product decisions are validated with a standing council of 40 CFOs and treasurers from active clients. When enterprise features tempt us away from mid-market usability, the council is the tie-breaker. Small-business UX and enterprise capability in the same workspace is the core of the product.
National Coverage
CorporateConnect supports commercial clients in all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Relationship coverage is divided across five regional pods — Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Mountain, West Coast — each led by a regional Head of Commercial Banking. Clients are routed to a dedicated treasury advisor based on headquarters location, industry segment and revenue tier. The average advisor-to-client ratio is 1:22, well below the industry mean of 1:65 reported by the Federal Reserve in its 2025 survey of commercial banking relationship depth.
Every region maintains redundant wire desks in two data centers and a 24/7 treasury operations line at 800-462-6583 option 2. International clients and U.S. subsidiaries of foreign parents dial +1-612-555-0184 for direct routing to the international desk in Minneapolis.
