We are excited to announce our partnership with Wood & Huston Bank!

Wood & Huston Bank is a sixth-generation, Missouri-based community bank with more than 150 years of trusted service and a long-standing commitment to personal relationships, community leadership, and operational excellence.

Founded in 1874, Wood & Huston Bank has continuously adapted to change while preserving their legacy of local decision-making and customer-first service. As the bank continues to evolve lending operations, Teslar will support that mission by delivering a more efficient and consistent loan operations process.

The bank has selected Teslar’s Pipeline and Workflow tools to establish a single, auditable source of truth for loan activity. The bank’s goals include eliminating manual handoffs, replacing spreadsheet-based tracking, and providing credit administration with real-time visibility into every loan relationship from intake through post-close.

“We’ve wanted a workflow and pipeline solution on the loan side for many years and just hadn’t found the right fit—until now,” said Missy Casillas, VP/Director of Operations at Wood & Huston Bank. “Teslar allows us to automate key loan processes for efficiency and consistency, and the ability to pull data from our core into Teslar, and vice versa, is incredibly important. Eliminating rekeying and manual entry will make a big difference for our team.”

With Teslar’s Pipeline and Workflow tools, the bank expects enforceable, consistent steps for underwriting handoffs, approvals, and documentation tracking, along with tightly linked document capture and ECM integration. These capabilities will help employees quickly identify bottlenecks, policy exceptions, and outstanding items without searching across disconnected systems.

We’re proud to partner with Wood & Huston Bank as they modernize their lending operations in a way that reflects their values, culture, and commitment to serving their communities.
