Abound Resources was founded on the notion of bringing technology advice and support to community financial institutions that addresses the unique needs of these organizations. Recognizing that the traditional consulting model typically doesn't work well for community banks and credit unions, President and founder Brad Smith spent over two years researching, testing, and designing a suitable model with over 25 banks, trade association professionals, and professors participating. Abound discovered that when it comes to technology decisions community financial institutions seek innovative and affordable solutions without the sacrifice of quality and expertise.
The result is a business model that combines advisory services and web-based products, offering community banks and credit unions greater flexibility, options, and unique approaches to making the right technology decisions. Believing firmly in their methodology, Abound is the only advisory firm to guarantee that you will make the right technology decisions.
Abound is a consummate advocate for community financial institutions. The executive team speaks frequently with state, regional, and national trade associations and offers free educational webinars monthly. Mr. Smith has appeared on business talk radio advocating the value and services of community FI's and has been quoted in numerous industry publications.
Abound honors their corporate values and believes firmly that these principles are part of what makes the company successful.
