Vendor relationships are key to effective financial institutions. Vendors touch every aspect of a bank’s operations. From IT outsourcing to office supplies, distinguishing safe from risky vendors is critical.
Regulations, like SOX and GLBA, as well as regulators, including FFIEC and the OCC, make vendor risk assessments and compliance mandatory, not just nice to have.
Vendormate consolidates the vendor requirements of purchasing, legal, operations, and IT into one seamless transparent portal.
From initial due diligence to ongoing monitoring, Vendormate’s unique approach creates a single source of truth—of the bank’s requirements and the vendor company’s credentials—to save you time and money.

Why it's different
With nearly 8,000 community banks and more than 60,000 registered vendors, everyone benefits from this simplified process.
Banks subscribe to Bankvendor.com and alert their vendors that this is the preferred way to receive required documents. Bank staff can log in anytime to review a current or potential vendor’s documents.
Vendors log into bankvendor.com. A brief questionnaire defines their operations. Based on standard risk ratings, such as access to customer data, vendors are classified into risk categories that meet industry recommendations. An annual fee provides for credentialing and document verification and storage.
