Tagline

Runs a regulated business and asks 'who do I call when something goes wrong' before 'what does it cost'. Established brands and physical branches carry real weight.

Background

Physician turned operator running three outpatient clinics with 40 staff. Holds $2.1M in operating cash and has lived through a payroll failure caused by a frozen account. Values continuity, a named banker and a branch within driving distance.

Goals
  • Confidence that funds are safe and insured
  • A human to escalate to within the hour
  • Stability over novelty
Pain points
  • Fintech marketing that avoids the word 'bank'
  • Support that's chat-only
  • Unclear FDIC coverage on swept balances
Behavior

Looks for FDIC and 'who holds the money' before features; checks leadership and About pages; prefers phone over chat.

Triggers

A payroll scare; a news story about a fintech failure; an insurance renewal that asks about banking.
