Northern Bank is partnering with Elan Corporate Payment Systems, a division of Financial Services, to provide comprehensive commercial card programs that help business clients optimize spending, improve cash flow, and earn valuable rewards. This collaboration reflects our commitment to understanding what drives business success – smart financial tools that work as hard as our clients do.

"Our business clients are constantly looking for ways to maximize every dollar while maintaining control over their operations," said Kristin Vita, Head of Strategic Partnerships, at Northern Bank. "This partnership with Elan allows us to provide sophisticated commercial card solutions that don't just process transactions but actively contribute to their bottom line and operational efficiency."

This partnership delivers three transformative benefits that directly impact on how businesses manage their finances:

Cash Flow That Works for You

Extended payment terms and streamlined expense management mean businesses can optimize their working capital while earning rewards on necessary spending. Our clients gain the flexibility to invest in growth opportunities while maintaining strong vendor relationships.

Control Without Compromise

Real-time spending controls, detailed reporting, and customizable approval workflows give business owners complete visibility into their company's expenses. This isn't just about monitoring costs – it's about empowering smarter financial decisions at every level.

Rewards That Reinvest in Growth

Every business purchase becomes an opportunity to earn cash back or travel rewards that can be reinvested into the company. Whether it's office supplies, equipment, or travel expenses, routine spending now contributes directly to business objectives.

Northern Bank was founded by entrepreneurs who understand that every business decision impacts growth potential. Our philosophy is to provide tools that don't just solve today's challenges but position our clients for tomorrow's opportunities. By partnering with Elan Corporate Payment Systems, we're offering commercial card programs that align with how successful businesses actually operate.

“We’re excited to partner with Northen Bank to offer another solution that will help their customers meet their financial goals,” said Mark Armitage, SVP of Elan Corporate Payment Systems. “Together we will deliver a modern commercial card and expense submission platform that will empower business to manage their finances more efficiently.”

As businesses continue to evolve their financial strategies, our commitment to expanding our commercial banking capabilities ensures we remain an essential partner in their success.
