ARC – Bank
ARC Helps Community Banks Outperform the Competition
The ARC Program helps you win deals against both your national and local competitors.
Competing in today's banking environment isn't easy
Does this sound familiar?
You’re often forced to limit long-term fixed-rate lending because of the risk it adds to your balance sheet.
Larger institutions consistently win deals by offering fixed-rate solutions you can’t easily match.
You’re pressured to compete on price - squeezing your margins.
Every fixed-rate loan creates tension between growth, profitability, and managing interest rate risk.
That's Why We Created The ARC Program
Win Locally by Offering What Others Can’t
Long-term on-balance sheet fixed-rate lending creates risk that holds community banks back.
ARC removes that constraint:
• Offer long-term fixed rates that many local competitors can’t safely provide
• Empower lenders to say “yes” to more deals—without adding balance sheet strain
• Differentiate your bank with a solution most institutions simply don’t have
Result: You stop competing on familiarity alone—and start winning on capability.
Compete with Large Banks—With a Better Borrower Experience
Large national banks often rely on swaps to deliver fixed-rate structures—but that comes with complexity borrowers don’t like.
ARC gives you an advantage:
• Deliver the same long-term fixed-rate certainty—without swaps or derivative structures
• Provide a simpler, cleaner experience: one loan, one payment, no extra agreements
• Combine big-bank capabilities with the clarity and service of a community bank
Result: You don’t just match large banks—you offer a solution that’s easier for borrowers to understand and choose.
