Espalier is a fintech that works exclusively with community banks and financial institutions (<$500 million AUM) to affordably unite their outdated legacy systems into a single digital platform. Our mission is to help community banking thrive in the face of increasing competition, consolidation, and centralization. We believe that the presence of a strong local FI benefits the entire community, and especially small business. Because Espalier is headquartered in Kansas City — the heart of America — we’ve been privileged to witness the positive impacts of local banking and financial services in our surrounding communities.
