"Providing our customers w ith qual­
ity service demands more from us
than simply a surface response. We go
deeper. Take overline and liquidity
loans, for example.
"At MNB, we act decisively on all
overline loan requests. But first, our
qualified experienced loan specialists
study the situation and apply fresh,
innovative thinking in tailoring a loan
package to your bank and your bor­
rower's individual needs."
An opportunity to serve.
"We believe a loan request is an op­
portunity to serve — not only the bor­

rower but the respondent bank and
the community it serves. So, the close
working relationship we create and
m aintain w ith each of our respondent
banks and their overline customers
assures continued growth, stability
and quality in their loan portfolios
and ours."

“LOOK, M A,
NO DENTIST BILL!”

No charges fo r dental checkups by employees
and their families.
That’s ju s t one reason for the popularity
of the Dental Assistance Plan offered exclusively
by Manufacturers Hanover to correspondent banks
of all sizes.
The MHT Plan provides a new and continuing
source of employee goodwill. By paying all
“ reasonable and customary” costs for preventive
services and a goodly portion of the costs for most
dental procedures, employees are relieved of the
anxiety over large dental bills.
By forming one large group of employees from
many banks, MHT is able to provide this popular
coverage to participating banks at a truly
reasonable cost. Every dollar you contribute is tax
deductible. No tying up of your Personnel Depart­
ment, either, since claims— handled prom ptly


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

and efficiently— are filed directly by the employee
or the dentist w ith our insurance carrier.
MHT has long been the innovator in employee
benefit plans for correspondents— group life, group
major medical, long-term income protection,
retirement. So i t ’s not surprising th a t we should
come up w ith group dental, the “ fringe” th a t
nearly all employees can put to use.
For more information regarding MHT’s Dental
Assistance Plan, w rite to Charles R. Burrows at the
address below. Or call him at (212) 350-3359.
And put teeth in your employee benefit
program.

Fed’s Gross Earnings
Climb 24% in 1980
#
Preliminary figures indicate that
gross earnings of the Federal Reserve
Banks amounted to $12,802 million
during 1980, a 24.2% increase from a
year earlier. Current expenses for thi#
12 Reserve Banks and their branches
totaled $791 million—14.1 % above a
year earlier.
Assessment for expenditures of the
Board of Governors amounted to $62®
million. There was a net deduction in
the profit and loss account of $115
million, resulting primarily from a
net loss of $199 million on sales of
U.S. Government securities and a n e #
profit of $96 million on foreign
exchange operations.
Net earnings before payments to
the Treasury totaled $11,834 million.
Payments to the Treasury as interes#
on Federal Reserve notes amounted
to $11,707 million; statutory divid­
ends to member banks, $70 million;
and additions to Reserve Bank
surplus, $57 million.
•
Under the policy adopted by the
Board of Governors at the end of
1964, all net earnings after the
statutory dividend to member banks
and additions to surplus to bring it t(P
the level of paid-in capital were paid
to the U.S. Treasury as interest on
Federal Reserve notes.
Compared with 1979, gross
earnings were up $2,492 million, du®
mainly to an increase of $2,407
million on U.S. Government securi­
ties.
Earnings of the Federal Reserves
System are derived primarily frorrF
interest accrued on U.S. Government
securities that the Federal Reserve
has acquired through Open Market
Operations, one of the tools oU
monetary policy.

Northern Trust Reports
Net Income Up 17.9%
Northern Trust Corporation, par­
ent holding company of The Norther ®
Trust Company, Chicago, reported
prelim inary unaudited operating
results for the year ended December
31, 1980. Income before security
transactions totaled a recorcr
$33,091,000 or $6.89 per share for the
year, a 9% increase from the
$30,357,000 or $6.32 per share earned
in 1979. Net income, after reflecting^
security losses of $1,848,000, totalecr
$31,243,000 or $6.51 per share,
compared with $26,497,000 or $5.52
per share for 1979, a 17.9% increase.
E. Norman Staub, chairman ancL.
chief executive officer, stated that et
strong increase in net interest income
was the most important factor
contributing to the higher earnings
for the year. Net interest incom ^
stated on a fully taxable equivalent
basis totaled $145,671,000, up 13%
from the $128,586,000 reported in
1979. This record performance was
the result of an 8% increase in»
average earning assets combinea
with an improved net interest margin
of 3.29% , compared with 3.15% last
year.
Total loans averaged 14% highei|)
than in 1979 and reached a new high
of $2.9 billion at year-end.
The provision for loan losses
charged to earnings was $4,000,000,
compared with net charge-offs o^)
$2 ,668,000, bringing the reserve for
loan losses to $27,477,000.
Trust fees reached a record
$48,844,000, a 16% increase from a
year ago. Highly volatile interest(||
rates throughout 1980 contributed to
lower bond trading profits which were
$1,381,000 compared with $4,106,000
in 1979. Other income increased
during the year, reflecting higher®
foreign exchange profits and increas­
es in domestic and international
banking fees. Operating expenses
were up 17 % from a year ago due to
the impact of inflation and increased®
staff to service a greater volume of
business.
Total assets of the Corporation
reached a record level of $5.8 billion at
year-end, and for the year averaged!
$5.6 billion, 10% higher than in 1979.

DocutelCorporation, Dallas, Tex.,
has received a commitment from
Rocky M ountain B ankC ard’s
“PLUS” System for support of its®
TOTAL TELLER® 2300 series

Browning, president of Rocky
Mountain BankCard, who added that
the System is expected to operate®
TT2300 machines by April, 1981.
Frank R. Marlow, Docutel’s vice
president of marketing, pointed out
that the system’s support of Docutel
will “not only prove beneficial for®
existing TT2300 customers in the
PLUS geographic region but also
enhance the attractiveness of Docutel
ATMs to other financial institu­
tions.”
®
Started as a proprietary Colorado
credit card service in 1966, Rocky

institutions of all varieties in eight
states and, said Mr. Browning, is®
about to expand to 12 states. The
System presently comprises 181 live

The U.S. banking department will
be organized around specific industry
markets. Special emphasis will be
placed on correspondent banks and
thrift institutions. Pursuant to the
bank’s goal of becoming the premier
bank in the midwest, Mr. Sullivan
said, a division covering Illinois an
surrounding states will be estab­
lished to service middle-market and
large corporate custom ers not
included in specialized industry
groups. A national division will serve
these same customers through the
bank’s regional offices. Mr. Thomas
will serve a acting head of the U.S.
banking department until a successor
is named.
The financial products department
will encompass such financial ser­
vices as international merchant
banking, private placements, project
finance, public finance and leasing.
Special emphasis will be given to
trade finance and venture capital.
The department will be formed after a
head has been named.
The service products department
will develop and manage noncredit
products for the worldwide and U.S.
banking departments. A head of this
department will be named in the near
future.
The personal banking and trust
department, directed by Charles W.
Woodford, senior vice president, will
provide personal banking and trust
services to high income and high net
worth individuals, as well as to
institutions and corporations, on a
worldwide basis.
The retail banking department will
continue to offer a full range of
consumer services through its
downtown facilities and will oversee
VISA credit card and travelers
cheque operations. A. Ray Einsel,
senior vice president, will head the
department.
Five departments reporting to Mr.
McKay are law, control, building
corporate/security, audit, and com­
munications.
The asset and liability manage­
ment committee will be chaired by
Executive Vice President William J .
McDonough. The bond and treasury
departments will report to him.
The credit policy committee will be
chaired by D. John Stavropoulos,
who will be responsible for the quality
of the bank’s loan portfolio, credit

policy administration, country risk
analysis and loan workouts.
®
The personnel department will be
headed by Senior Vice President
Arthur J. Massolo. The newly formed
planning department will be headed
by Leo Mullin, senior vice president ™
It will be responsible for developing
corporate strategies as well as
assisting managers of business units
in achieving their growth an d .
profitability objectives.

Council Would Ban Credit
Life Fees to All Banks
If a recommendation by the
Federal Financial Institutions Exam®

financial institutions officers and
staff would be banned from personal­

life insurance. Presently, the banl®
extends to the 4,700 national banks
affected by a Comptroller of the
Currency regulation stemming from a
1979 recommendation.

W hen people ask how good our check
processing is, we tell them the story of the check

The check arrived at 6a.m. Continental Bank
couriers met his flight. He hadn’t expected that.
He w as still half-frozen from his ride in the plane’s
cargo hold. He thought he’d have time to relax,
warm up. But no.
They whisked him by helicopter to the
processing center. Funny, he hadn’t expected to be
cleared ’til late morning.
No one had time for small talk. The pace
they worked at was dizzying. In the space of an
hour, he and over one hundred thousand other
checks had been captured, microfilmed, endorsed,

sorted and sent on their way. And the kicker?
The whole thing happened so fast he never had time
to thaw out.
It was as buttoned-up an organization as he’d
ever come across. And he’d come across plenty.
He’d come in cold and skeptical. He left mighty

1981 Correspondent
Bank Survey

A N orthwestern B anker S urvey

In response to some detailed
questions, the executives replying to
^ th e survey have stated these key
points:
1. 87.7% say Check Clearance is
the most important service offered by
their city correspondents. Safekeep0 ing and over lines are rated as the
second and third most important
services, with 64.8% and 55.8%
respectively.
2. 60% say Location is their
0 reason for selecting their city
correspondent, and 58 % say Reputa­
tion is their second choice for such
selection.
3. While community banks still
^furnish more balances than fees in
payment for services (86% presently,

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

30% state they would prefer to pay
fees if given the choice; 5% would be
interested in a combination, and a
whopping 25% say “it doesn’t
matter.”
4. 52% of those responding to the
question say they will close their
accounts with major money market
banks which attempt to expand their
markets nationwide, stating they
“will not deal with competitors.”
Also, 40% of the respondents say
such action by major banks “will
have no effect.”
5. In a series of questions relating
to correspondent bank service also
offered by the Fed, as well as the

subject of required new reserves to be
held at the Fed by non-members and
how correspondent bank services
compare with the Fed, the commun­
ity banks have opted overwhelmingly
in favor of their city banks. For
example:
• 86% say the Fed requirements
will have no effect on their
correspondent relationships.
• Of the banks who may have to
carry reserves at the Fed, 74% say
they would rather deal through their
correspondents on a “pass-through”
basis, and 13% are not yet decided.
• 84% of the respondents say
correspondent banks will outweigh

, 21
executives who head their respective
city correspondent bank departments
expressed their views about Corres­
pondent Banking in the 1980s. These
officials examined the services most
frequently used by their banks by
community correspondents and their
listing of services coincides closely
with the findings in the current
survey.
In the current survey, a few states
put Investment Advice ahead of
Overlines, and in some states, EDP
or Currency Service was placed a
little ahead of one of them, all of these
changes being by slight margins. All
in all, it is noteworthy that the first
six places each garnered more than
40% of the votes from all
respondents.
Q. 2. For what reasons did you
choose your present correspondent
bank[sl?
Respondents chose Location by a
hair over Reputation (59.3 % to 58 % )
as their first reason for selecting a
city correspondent. Interestingly,
Reputation was selected first in
several of the states, with Location
second by a handful of points, but
more responses were received from
larger states that selected Location.
The findings from this question are
shown in Chart No. 2.
Q. 3. How many correspondent bank
accounts do you maintain: Primary
_____ Secondary____ !_ Dormant

_____ ? If more than one primary
account, please explain.
®
All of the respondents combined
show an average of 1.4 primary
accounts, 2.16 secondary accounts
and 2.16 dormant accounts. How­
ever, there is an interesting split®
among the states. Those question­
naires which were not identified by
state or bank name, and those from
Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota
and South Dakota had a range from®
1.1 to 1.3 primary accounts. Then, in
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
and Colorado, the range moved up to
1.4 to 2.3 primary accounts. The
same differences prevail in the other®
two categories. The first group of
states listed 2 to 2.1 secondary
accounts, while N orth D akota,
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado
have a range of 2.3 to 3.1 secondary®
accounts. The same thing prevails in
dormant accounts where the range for
the first group of states is 1.7 to 2,
while in the second group of states the
range is from 1.6 to 2.5 dormant®
accounts per bank. The only
variation here is in Nebraska, which
listed 2.6 dormant accounts per
community bank. A summary by
states of these account relationships®
appears in Chart No. 3.
Q. 4. How do you rate your present
correspondent service? Respondents
were asked to rate their Primary and^
Secondary accounts as Excellent,
Good, Fair or Poor.
These results are shown in Chart
No. 4.
As noted earlier, Community|j)
Bankers gave their city correspon­
dent high marks in answering this
question, since 50.5% rated their
Primary accounts as Excellent, while
an additional 42.2% rated them^
Good, for a combined total of 92.7 %.
The other votes on Primary accounts,
compiled among all responding
states, were 6.8 % Fair and .5% Poor.
In fact, in only one state did banks^
rate any Primary account Poor in

the Fed in importance to them.
• The most valuable aspects of
correspondent banking that the Fed
can’t achieve, in the opinion of most
respondents, are personalized ser­
vice, overlines and investm ent
advice.
Many other important findings are
contained in the results of this
extensive, exclusive survey and they
are detailed in the following answers
to the questions as stated:
Q. 1. What is the most important
service your correspondent now
renders you?
Following this was a list of 14
services suggested by a panel of
bankers who helped prepare the
questionnaire. Since a total of 14
rankings could be made, each
category was weighted in reverse
order; i.e., each No. 1 vote was given
14 points, each No. 2 vote was given
13 points, and so on until No. 14 was
given one point.
To determine if there were any
distinct differences by states or
geographical regions this question
was compiled by individual states.
This process, though lengthy and
tedious, showed strikingly similar
selections among the 200 answers
furnished from bankers in the nine
states surveyed. For example, each
state voted Check Clearance as its
No. 1 choice, except for Montana,
where it was second by five weighted
points to Safekeeping, which was
selected by all the other eight states
as their No. 2 choice. Since all the
states were very close in their
tabulation throughout this question,
the answers were finally consolidated
into one summary chart of all states
iChart No. 1). In last month’s

response to this, 25% stated flatly
this could curtail availability of
overlines and an added 14 % said they
would have to reduce balances
accordingly. Other answers were
scattered.
On Question 19, respondents were
asked to tell why they have their own
in-house computer or, if not, under
what conditions they would convert
to an in-house computer. The reasons
given to both these queries follow:
From those who presently are on an
in-house computer (43 of the 197
banks included in this part), three
distinct answers stood out. The first
was “better control on premise,”
listed by 14 banks. The second was
“to stabilize costs,” listed by nine
banks. The third was “better
customer service,” listed by six
banks. Three banks said they are part
of a holding company which has
on-premise computer and three listed
poor weather and courier service in
the Rocky Mountain states as
reasons. The others were for various
reasons, such as convenience, own
preference, coop with other banks
and volume.

1. Send for one of our booklets
Our “Guide to Correspondent
Banking Services” is designed to
give you an overview of the dif­
ferent types of services we offer
your bank. Call or write and we’ll
be glad to send one your way.
2. Send for one of us
If you want to find out exactly
what we can do for you, send for
one of us.
We’ll come to your bank to dis­
cuss your specific needs and ex-

plain how we could work with
you on a correspondent basis.

don’t deal with a correspondent
bank. You deal with a correspon­

ship that will help set long-range
plans and goals.

are dependent on your insight and

them.
But, as a partner in a correspondent
banking relationship you may not find
yourself in as mutually cooperative a
situation. Although your ag business may
rely heavily on the help of your regional
bank, the reverse may not seem to hold true.
And if your regional bank no longer meets
that growing need for help, it’s time to move.
But whether you’re looking for a new
correspondent relationship or merely taking
a critical look at your existing relationship,
there are certain criteria banks can and do
use to evaluate a correspondent bank.

Capability
Of course the regional bank must have the
financial resources to meet your ag
financing needs. The bank must have the
capacity that can give you the flexibility to
plan for today and tomorrow.
And large dollar lending limits are not
enough. Capability should also be measured
in terms of human resources— professional
skills and expertise.
The bank’s size is important, because it
certainly affects not only the amount of ag
loans that can be funded, but also the
number of ways in which those loans can be
funded. A “ bankers acceptance,” for
example, is one such means of funding.

Dependability
Solid banking relationships can’t be
transient. Bankers must share the mutual
trust and understanding necessary for long­
term growth.
Unfortunately, many financial institutions
and associations get into the ag lending
market without a long-run commitment to
that market. They “ dabble" while times are
good, and somehow disappear when times
are troubled.
Dependability isn’t easily discerned. It’s
a quality proven over time and based on a
bank’s reputation, the risks it’s willing to take,
and its availability when you need help.

Flexibility
For one reason or another, some
correspondent financial institutions and
associations may try to "run” a loan. This
may confuse customers and make local
banks less sensititive to their needs. Even
worse, it indicates poor trust in both the
borrower’s and the local lender’s judgement.
A good regional bank, on the other
hand, listens to the need to stay flexible
enough to let local banks adapt to changing
situations.

Innovation
Using financial tools in new and different
ways can be the lifeblood of a good
correspondent banking relationship. And
because a local bank can never predict the
changing needs of customers years in
advance, it pays to develop a relationship
with a regional bank which not only has
financial tools, but also the expertise, desire,
and commitment to continuously work with
them.
And in a world where interest rates can
rise and fall in a matter of days, the best
regional bank is the one with the talent and
desire to innovate and react thoughtfully and
quickly.

Dedication
First, a country bank must be dedicated to its
own business— ag financing. To do this
effectively its regional bank must recognize
the needs of the local bank's own
customers, and offer help with needed
services. Services like regional agricultural
econom ic advice, estate planning, trust
services, or speedy collection of large
deposits. Not all banks can readily offer
these.
Secondly, a regional bank must be
dedicated to the country bank's welfare in its
ag business market. Correspondent bankers
must be willing to join local bankers out in
the field, to become acquainted with
customers and their problems first-hand,

and, if necessary, to help educate them in
the growing complexities of ag finance. For
example, the process of hedging as a
market tool, and what it means for bankers
and borrowers alike.

Look for an expert.
Obviously, this isn’t a complete laundry list of
criteria, and it’s not really meant to be. What
it is designed to do, however, is to give you a
solid starting point for a realistic evaluation
of your correspondent relationship.
At Northwestern National Bank of
Minneapolis, we know how important an ag
banking correspondent relationship is to you,
and how important your selection of your
regional bank can be to your success. And
of course we like ag loan assets and
recognize the tremendous importance of
agriculture in this region.
That’s why we’re so deeply involved in
that area. From top management on down,
w e’ve made a sincere commitment to
servicing the ag needs of local banks and
their customers.
And we can offer local banks the types
of overlines and related banking products
they need to keep their customers growing.
Our commitment, coupled with our
flexibility, our expertise, and our size, has
helped our bank grow rapidly over the past
four years, to now rank 30th in size nationally
in ag loan volume.
When you’re looking for an ag partner,
ask the experts. Ask us. We’ll help you serve
the needs of your most important
custom ers—the farmers, ranchers, and agri­
businesses in your community. We’re on
your side.

Minnesota Energy Problems Need Careful
Analysis, Economics Expert Advises
6i p

ROPOSALS calling for Min­
nesota to become nearly selfsufficient in energy production need
careful analysis,” according to Dr.
Larry J. Wipf, assistant vice pres­
ident and director of regional eco­
nomics at Northwestern National
Bank of Minneapolis. ‘‘Concern over
the instability of energy sources and
our dependence on outside sources of
energy should not lead us to adopt
measures that may actually result in
higher energy prices for the state or
that would hamper economic devel­
opment.”
“ Since M innesota is alm ost
completely dependent on outside
sources of energy, stability of supply
is a key concern,” said Mr. Wipf.
“Fears of supply disruptions have
been heightened by the Iraqi-Iranian
War. In addition, some analysts
argue that traditional fuels such as
oil, natural gas and coal drain dollars
out of M innesota which then
jeopardizes the economic health of
the state.”
“The key question is how far
should the government, both federal
and state, go and what should the
government do in intervening in the
private sector in an effort to deal with
our energy problems,” he said.
“ Proposals calling for Minnesota
to become nearly self-sufficient in
energy production are ill-advised,”
said Mr. Wipf. “The premature
switch to non-conventional sources of

energy could saddle the state with
higher-priced energy sources relative
to other areas of the country. This
would hamper our overall economic
growth. The most valuable contribu­
tion the government could make in
solving the energy crisis would be to
encourage greater reliance on the free
market system.”
“Minnesota’s overriding energy
goal should be the development of the
most efficient sources of energy,
whether produced in Minnesota or in
some other stable supplying area, ’’ he
said. “This does not mean that there
is no future for certain Minnesotabased energy sources. The crucial
question is “How should this be
brought about?” In the search for
alternative energy sources, it is
preferable to allow the free market
system to guide the choices. We must
guard against giving incentives to
new sources while hampering the
development and use of traditional
fuels.”

How MGIC can help
We've raised underwriting ratios
on home mortgages so that more
people can get into a home of their
own. We've increased the permissible
level for basic housing debt from 25 to
33 percent. And raised the total debt
level from 35 to 38 percent.
Our eight percent increase in the
housing ratio will open the gate for
more families, particularly first-time
buyers. And the modest three percent
increase in total debt will keep non­
housing spending in line.


Northwestern
Banker. February, 1981

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

MGIC's new guidelines, however,
are not meant to replace prudent
underwriting of mortgage loans.
Higher ratios may not apply in
your market. But with big home prices
and high interest rates in many locali­
ties, there is a need for flexibility.
FHLMC, which purchased $5.5 bil­
lion of conventional loans last year,
raised their ratios, too. And, like
MGIC, they're now stressing each
applicant's debt-carrying ability.
Lenders also see the need for more

realistic mortgage guidelines.
David J. Reed, executive vice pres­
ident at California Federal Savings and
Loan Association: “ People are willing
to make sacrifices just to get into
homes. We need to take steps like
raising the housing expense-toincome ratio to help them achieve
homeownership.”
Simple solutions to housing affordability do not exist. But initiatives like
higher underwriting ratios, the FHLBB's
40-year mortgages and our proposed

MBA Manual Completed,
Surveys Conducted
The completion of the Minnesota
Bankers Association Agricultural
Lending Procedures and Forms
Manual was announced by project
chairman John Berg, president,
Wayzata Bank and Trust Company.
The Agricultural Manual is the
second to be completed in the series of
four manuals being developed by the
MBA. The Consumer Manual was
completed during the spring of 1980
and the two remaining manuals on
Real Estate and Commercial Lending
are targeted for completion by the
end of 1981, according to Mr. Berg.
Mr. Berg said there are presently
550 Minnesota banks subscribing to
the four manuals.
In a continuing effort to meet the
needs of today’s bankers, MBA has
conducted two needs assessment
surveys. MBA President Richard
Gandrud said the surveys were done
to determine the educational needs of
Minnesota banking.
The two areas of research were
bank investments and operations.
Mr. Gandrud said there was an
overwhelming response to the survey
and after evaluations, one must
conclude that Minnesota bankers are
aware of the changing industry and
want to respond to it.
Mr. Gandrud, also president of
Pope County State Bank, Glenwood,
called the survey a scientific
approach to better educational
programs for Minnesota bankers. He
said the Association has taken this
approach to get accurate assessment
of the needs.

places the ownership of the banks in a
limited partnership with three classes
of partners, a General Partner and
Class 1 and Class 2 limited partners.
The banks’ directors., officers and
employes as General Partners will
have management control of the
partnership.
The Class 1 limited partners are
institutional investors who pur­
chased interests in conjunction with
an issue of senior term debentures
due in 1996. The debentures have
transferable warrants attached, en­
titling the holders to purchase
Baldwin’s interest in the partnership
between 1986 and 1995 at exercise
prices related to accumulated book
value.
Baldwin-United is the sole owner of
the Class 2 limited partnership
interest and retains approximately 92
percent of the economic interest, but
on a non-voting basis.
The divestiture transfers control of
the banks to the officers and directors
of the banks, thereby assuring
ongoing management and regional
control. The new company will have
additional capital available immedi­
ately from the formation of the
partnership, plus an additional $10
million over the period 1982-1986.
Max G. Brooks, chairman of the
board of Centred Bank of Denver
since 1964, is CBI’s chairman and
chief executive officer. Donald D.
Hoffman, president of Centred Bank
of Denver since 1967, is serving as
vice chairman of the board. George B .
McKinley, chairman of the board of
First National Bemk in Grand
Junction since 1976, is holding the
position of president and chief
operating officer.
In addition to the twelve existing
banks, CBI has received approval to
acquire the stock of Central

ized in 1980, and the stock of Central
Bank of West Greeley, a newly
organized bank which will open for

Know your
customers.
Look around. Banking has become one of
today’s most competitive businesses.
^ Your customers are being wooed by every
financial institution in your market area.
The trick to keeping your customers loyal,
and to increasing your profits, is knowing as
much about them as possible and keeping
0 h a t information updated daily.
Unfortunately, complete up-to-the-minute
customer profiles are rare. Background in­
formation is often gathered randomly and
stored in many different places, making it
(difficult to obtain for useful purposes.
* Until now. Until Banks of Iowa Computer
Services Central Information File (CIF).
With Banks of Iowa Computer Services’
CIF, complete information on your custom­
ers can be obtained in moments, either on a
|display terminal or as hard copy.

The operative word is exhaustive. Since
every possible piece of information gathered
is centrally stored, you have immediate ac­
cess to such things as the status and history
of a given customer’s account and his ac­
count relationships. The businesses he’s in
and how they’re doing. And any pertinent
family information.
This information is critical in making quick,
knowledgeable, profitable decisions.
CIF is the most economical, efficient and
sensible way to gather all this information
and to use it for increased profits.
D on’t kid yourself.
There aren’t many new
customers around. What
you need to do is expand
the ways your existing cus­
tomers use your bank.

Because a lot of other financial institutions
would like them as customers. And are trying
to get them.
Can you trust your customers? Yes — if
you can trust your information retrieval sys­
tem.
And that means CIF.
Contact us today for an appointment.
We’ll be glad to explain our system at your
convenience.

H is banker has to be there
in good tim es and bad.
When credit is easy, a successful farmer
has lots of bankers knocking on his door.
But chances are he’ll stick with the banker
who stuck by him when money was tight.
It takes a banker with a lot of foresight
to build a relationship with someone in a
cyclical business like this.
And it helps if your correspondent

Two Senior Officer
^
Promotions Announced
R.K. Sverdahl, chairman of the
board and president of Peoples Bank
and Trust Company and Peoples
Bankshares, Ltd., of Waterloo,#
announced the promotion of two
Peoples Bank senior officers.
The board of directors of Peoples
Bank and Trust Company in regular
meeting elected Donald L. Porchet#
joined the staff of Peoples Bank on a
full-time basis in April 1957. He
subsequently worked in many areas
of the bank and became manager of
the bank’s real estate loan depart-#
ment in July 1963. He was elected to
the office of senior vice president in
September 1974.
INTERIOR view of the expansion recently completed at Union Bank and Trust Co. in
Ottumwa.

Union Bank and Trust Doubles Space
HE expansion at Union Bank
and Trust Co. in Ottumwa has
almost doubled the space on the first
floor. By carving out a large space
directly beneath its new parking lot,
the bank has added 5,000 square feet
to the first floor’s 6,000 square feet.
Now located in the new part of the
bank are the commercial loan and real
estate loan officers and the commer­
cial loan note department, a room for
the board of directors, a large store­
room and restrooms.
Loan officers will now have private
offices rather than desks in an open
area. The bank also plans to increase
the size of the main vault, allowing
for approximately 500 additional safe
deposit boxes to relieve what has
been a short supply.
Another improvement is the new
elevator available now for parking lot
users. Before, it was necessary to
take a flight of stairs down to the
service area on the first floor. It
was not necessary to sacrifice any
parking spaces for the building’s
expansion.

when you must be right
...the First lim e

For your bank’s customers, the essence of successful automatic teller service is transaction speed and simplicity.
For bank management, however, an automatic teller program deserves deliberate, in-depth consideration.
Many factors are involved, ranging from plastic card design to consideration of ATM security risks.
On the other hand, finding the right answers to your automatic teller questions is a whole lot easier and quicker when
you call on the company that has found more of those right answers than any other automatic teller equipment
vendor.
That company is Diebold. We have shipped over 6000 automatic tellers to the American financial community, so you
can be confident that more of your questions about automatic tellers are ones we’ve already answered.
Another important consideration is that of all ATM vendors, only Diebold has an authoritative background of security
expertise. This capability is particularly significant in connection with free-standing automatic tellers.
Talk to Diebold about ATMs — and about our other customer service and security equipment. When you must be
right...the first time, we’ll help you make the right decision.
