John Schulte
CIO, Mercantile Bank of Michigan What, you haven’t heard of MercBank? It was only the first bank to partner with PayPal for P2P payments and Bill.com for billpay. Schulte is a believer that banks must partner with startups to succeed, and further believes that community banks’ freedom to act can make them better innovation partners than the big guys. MercBank offers a full suite of mobile offerings and is exploring new ways to bring in Gen Y customers through innovative social media offerings and partnerships with a local university.
