Meet our management team:
Hank Seale, Founder & CEO
Hank Seale has been in banking his entire career, first as a community banker and then as an entrepreneur building financial services software solutions. His commitment to the success of community banking has deep roots. After graduating from Texas Tech University in 1984, he moved to Austin, Texas as a loan payments teller for The Bank of the Hills. Hank worked his way up to Vice President of Operations for the bank and during that time he served as the Secretary of Treasurer of the Young Bankers Division of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas.
When The Bank of Hills was acquired, Hank embarked upon his first entrepreneurial endeavor co-founding Regency Voice Systems, a company that introduced voice banking to community financial institutions. Successfully growing this company to more than 1,600 customers, Hank sold the company and began his next venture establishing Q UP Systems. At Q UP, Hank developed the latest Web-based technology to help community financial institutions stay competitive in attracting and retaining customers. Q Up was acquired by S1 Corporation in 2000.
Hank has continued his mission of serving the community financial services market by establishing ownership in CoreTrac, another banking company, and founding CBG Holdings which is the parent company of several community banking software firms (Q2 Banking, Cardinal Systems and cbanc Network). Hank was also invited by the Federal Reserve Board to become a Class-B Director for the Dallas Region. Hank’s vision for cbanc Network was to leverage the power of the Internet to provide a platform where community banks could more easily network, share best practices and practical advice on a national basis. Hank recognizes the valuable role these institutions play in their communities and yet they must operate with limited resources and budgets. However, his belief is that working together community banks have an opportunity to establish a competitive advantage in their respective markets. That, simply stated, is the mission of cbanc.
