After acquiring several banks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.levelonebank.com\/Resources\/About-Us\/News\/level-one-bank-continues-growth-doubles-size-of-mortgage-division\" rel=\"nofollow\">absorbing MB Financial Bank\u2019s mortgage division in July 2018<\/a>, Level One\u2019s own mortgage team effectively doubled in size. The increased number and complexity of compensation plans made the calculation of commissions earnings and periodic bonus payouts more time-consuming .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompenSafe created significant efficiencies for our payroll department, saving countless hours of manual labor and eliminating the risk of human error,\u201d said Level One Bank Executive Vice President, Consumer Banking Officer, Timothy R. Mackay. \u201cAdditionally, it has improved compensation transparency with our loan originators who now have the ability to login and view their pipeline and payroll information at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore CompenSafe, I spent a full day running commissions every two weeks,\u201d said Level One Bank Senior Accountant Christen Inchaustegui. \u201cNow it takes me 10 minutes to pull together my reports. CompenSafe has also made incentive compensation more transparent for loan originators, who can log in and look at their pipeline and payroll snapshot at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a community bank that embraces technology and always looks for ways to do things better, Level One Bank saw right away how CompenSafe could improve both routine commissions processes and long-term compensation plan management,\u201d said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. \u201cWe were proud to help Level One manage its growing pains by getting CompenSafe up and running in a matter of just a couple months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Level One Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Level One Bank (NASDAQ: LEVL) is a full-service, 5-star BauerFinancial rated commercial and consumer bank headquartered in Michigan with assets of approximately $1.5 billion.
