LAKE MARY, Fla., June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Finastra today announced that Bank Midwest, an employee-owned bank with locations throughout Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, has launched OnePlace.bank, a digital bank powered by Finastra, focused exclusively on the financial needs of the healthcare community. The move expands Bank Midwest's collaboration with the financial software provider, utilizing its Phoenix core solution and Digital Banking to go to market quickly and efficiently.
