Omaha, NE (PRWEB) February 9, 2010 -- WebEquity Solutions™ LLC (WebEquity) announced today that Security First Bank (http://www.security1stbank.com/), a Nebraska based institution, has selected the Company’s on-demand lending software to automate the bank’s credit analysis and portfolio risk management processes for all its commercial and agriculture loans.
Security First Bank, $800 million in asset size and with more than 26 locations in Nebraska and southwest South Dakota, is a full-service community bank offering its customers comprehensive personal and business banking services including commercial, crop and personal insurance products.

“Our goal was to standardize on a software package that could automate our stringent loan commitment and approval policies and help us manage consistency in our loan presentations,” said Jim Varvel, executive vice president, Security First Bank. “The WebEquity system is unique in that it offers us a single system which has been designed to address the unique credit analysis requirements of Ag, commercial real estate and small business loans.”
