Challenge

Legacy systems limited Gesa's ability to serve larger commercial clients

As Gesa grew its commercial portfolio, its existing platform couldn’t support the treasury services and fraud protection expected by midmarket businesses and public entities.

Solution

A scalable digital platform to power commercial growth

Through the Q2 Digital Banking Platform and Q2 Innovation Studio integrations, Gesa gained advanced treasury tools, real-time fraud protection, and self-service functionality—laying the foundation for expansion into the lower middle market.

Results

With Q2, Gesa achieved the following:

  • 100% adoption across all commercial members

  • New marquee client wins, including a major nonprofit veterinary hospital

  • Expansion into the lower middle market, adding multiple businesses with $15–$20 million in revenue

  • Strategic shift from commercial real estate (CRE) lending to full commercial and industrial (C&I) relationships

  • A clear competitive edge—now going head-to-head with regional banks
