Webinar: Bank Fee Management Webinar Series: ECR and Fee Optimization
Companies are well-served by understanding the competitive position of interest rates, ECR, and bank fees in times of stability.

Being armed with data allows you to have a reasonable discussion with your banker about the overall compensation you are providing them. Any relationship with your bank includes a number of crucial factors, and not just fees alone. Key factors include the level of credit extended; advice and guidance provided; services and service level delivered; commitment to the relationship; fees, rates, and overall compensation.
