Unqork's enterprise no-code platform will transform the digital customer experience and improve operational efficiencies

ADDISON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Guaranty Bank & Trust (“Guaranty”), a subsidiary of Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNTY), today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Unqork, a leading enterprise no-code platform, to build custom digital applications faster, while providing a higher-quality user experience at a lower cost than methods that depend on traditional coding.

Leveraging Unqork's enterprise no-code platform, Guaranty will build new digital applications faster than traditional development, driving higher return on investment per project, and improving the Bank’s ability to rapidly seize on market opportunities and meet customers’ growing demand for digital products. In addition to customer-facing applications, the Unqork platform will help improve the Bank’s internal processes and increase productivity through more systematic workflows and process automation for many currently manual procedures.

Our initial project using Unqork will transform the front-end experience for treasury solutions customers across a variety of offerings (e.g. online banking access, deposit account opening, remote deposit capture, etc.) as well as the back-end infrastructure for gathering, verifying and maintaining new customer information. Guaranty will take advantage of Unqork's unique ability to easily integrate with our legacy banking systems, while still providing all the benefits of enterprise-grade no-code programming.

"In addition to quickly enabling digital and user friendly banking apps for our customers, Unqork will also be used to increase efficiencies between our frontline business teams and our back-office operations teams through software-driven workflows. With Unqork’s codeless architecture, these applications will be built without the need to have a large application development team to keep up with traditional coding requirements," said Bill Anderson, Director of Information Technology at Guaranty.

"This partnership with Guaranty demonstrates the Unqork platform's ability to power the digital transformation of mission-critical functions in the banking industry," said Rabih Ramadi, Head of Financial Services and Insurance, Unqork. "We are proud to be the platform powering the transformation journey of Guaranty."
