Bank RFP
Consulting.

Choosing a depository bank is one of the most important financial decisions a public entity makes. We help you create, run and evaluate a bank RFP — and understand the pricing, terms and questions behind every response.

  • Designed to encourage competitive responses from qualified banks
  • Apples-to-apples comparison of responses

Our process

From first draft
to final decision.

Our team has sat on both sides of the bank RFP — inside the bank and beside the public entity — and we bring both perspectives to yours.

01

RFP Creation & Coordination

  • Review of current banking services and costs
  • Scope of depository services required
  • Short-term borrowing needs (TANs / BANs)
  • Drafting and distributing the RFP
  • Managing bidder questions and timelines
02

Evaluation & Transition

  • Scoring and comparing responses
  • Bank pricing and fee analysis
  • Summary of findings for staff and board
  • Support transitioning to a new relationship
  • Ongoing safety-and-soundness reporting

Ampersand or its affiliates may receive compensation from participating financial institutions. See our Regulatory Disclosures.
