We anticipate merging systems toward the end of June/2026.

As we approach the system merger:

  • Customers will receive frequent and detailed communication
  • Clear instructions will be provided ahead of time
  • Support will be available before, during, and after the transition

Our goal is to make the transition as smooth and seamless as possible.

Customers will receive updates through multiple channels, which may include:

  • Letters and emails
  • Website and/or mobile app updates
  • In-branch signage
  • Direct communication from bank staff

You will receive plenty of notice before any action is required.

Not immediately. When online and mobile banking changes, as part of the system merge anticipated in June/2026, customers will receive step-by-step guidance and support.

Historical online banking documents and statements will not transfer to the new Midwest Heritage system during the system merger. Customers who wish to retain copies of past statements, check images, or other online documents should download and save them from the current system prior to the conversion in June 2026. Additional reminders and instructions will be provided in advance of the system transition to help customers prepare.

Bill Pay payee information and scheduled payments will not transfer to the new system during the system merger. Customers will need to recreate their Bill Pay payees and scheduled payments after the transition.

Before the conversion, we recommend that customers review their current Bill Pay list and make note of any payees and payment details so they can easily set them up again in the new system. Additional instructions and reminders will be provided as the system transition approaches to help make the process as smooth as possible.

This acquisition allows us to:

  • Invest in improved technology and services
  • Maintain local decision making
  • Preserve relationship-based banking
