Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust Partners with Teslar Software

We are excited to announce our partnership with Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust!

Headquartered in Norfolk, Nebraska, Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust has been serving their communities since 1943 with a steadfast focus on people-first banking. Guided by the belief that what’s in the best interest of the customer is in the best interest of the bank, Elkhorn Valley continues to grow across Northeast Nebraska and into South Dakota, fulfilling their mission to enhance lives and strengthen the communities they serve.

As part of their commitment to provide exceptional service, products, and technology, the bank is partnering with Teslar to modernize internal processes across lending and deposit operations. The initial focus will be on dashboards, reporting, and data visibility, followed by exceptions tracking and workflow automation.

“I’m looking forward to streamlining and creating a one-stop shop for our loan officers,” said Corby Schweers, Chief Lending Officer at Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust. “Right now, even simple things like finding accrued interest on a customer with multiple loans can be difficult. Officers are having to mine basic information through multiple systems, spreadsheets, and downloads. Teslar will help us simplify that and bring it all into one platform—reducing duplication, improving visibility, and making our lives easier so officers can spend more time out of the bank and focused on our customers.”

The bank was drawn to Teslar’s nimbleness and shared vision of a platform that simplifies the lender experience without overcomplicating data entry. They also see Teslar as a key step in standardizing workflows across departments. “Our current process involves reentering the same information over and over across disconnected systems,” Schweers added. “Being able to only do it once and have everyone work from the same platform is what I’m most excited about. That ease and efficiency will help us scale.”

From the deposit side, the goals align closely. “What we want for our loan officers mirrors what we need for our deposit workflows and exceptions,” said Nick Cleveland, Chief Operating Officer. “We look forward to having a standardized platform and interface our teams can rely on. Right now, internal workflows--such as loan boarding and general ledger balances--are tough to work with and manage. We’re eager to bring those into Teslar and eventually build out HR, IT, and other internal workflows that improve consistency and create efficiencies across the bank.”

We’re proud to support Elkhorn Valley Bank & Trust as they continue making a difference in the lives of their customers and communities. We’re excited to be part of their journey toward smarter and more streamlined operations.
