Lead Bank specializes in lending to small businesses and individuals. A lead bank plays a significant role in loan syndication by organizing the process, negotiating terms, and managing communication among participants. This method allows a lender to spread its credit risk and offer larger loan amounts than a single institution could.

A lead bank is the primary organizer and administrator for syndicated loans or underwriting deals. Its responsibilities include organizing and negotiating terms and bringing together a group of banks, also known as the syndicate, to complete the transaction.

Based in Kansas City, Lead Bank enables local communities to thrive by offering FinTech services and digital direct banking. Slalom helped them implement an API that allows them to intelligently analyze data and seamlessly partner with a range of FinTech providers.
