REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i2c Inc., a global financial technology innovator, today announced that Geoff Dean, Director of Commercial Product Management at i2c will speak at the Commercial Payments International Middle Market B2B Payments Summit in Chicago on May 20 at 11:30 a.m. CT.

Dean will participate in a panel discussion titled, “Modern processors and community banks: doing more with less,” moderated by Julie Schmitz, Co-founder of Scale Solutions Group and an i2c client.

As consolidation reshapes the traditional processing landscape, community and regional banks are increasingly evaluating modern platforms to remain competitive while operating with leaner resources. The session will explore how these institutions can leverage new technology partnerships to expand capabilities, improve efficiency, and better serve evolving client needs without the burden of legacy infrastructure.

“Community and regional banks are under pressure to do more with fewer resources, all while competing with larger institutions and fintech challengers,” said Geoff Dean, Director of Commercial Product Management at i2c. “Next-gen processing platforms offer a path forward, enabling banks to move faster, deliver more tailored solutions, and scale alongside their customers’ needs without being constrained by legacy systems.”

The discussion will examine how next-generation processing models can drive long-term growth with greater configurability, faster product deployment, and more efficient operations. Additionally, the panel will address how the right technology partnerships can help smaller institutions close capability gaps without losing their focus on relationship-driven banking.

“In today’s environment, the ability to adapt quickly is critical,” said Julie Schmitz, Co-founder of Scale Solutions Group. “Community banks that embrace modern infrastructure are better positioned to compete, innovate, and meet the evolving expectations of their customers.”
