Brad Crain, regional executive for enhanced banking services at Arvest Bank, said the institution carefully evaluated multiple paths as it planned for the future of small business lending. He noted that Baker Hill’s deep understanding of Arvest’s business and its ability to deliver technology that evolves with the bank made UN/FY the clear choice. The platform provides the flexibility, integration, and operational efficiency needed to support customers at scale.
The UN/FY platform enables Arvest to digitize and accelerate the entire small business lending lifecycle. From intuitive digital applications to streamlined underwriting and automated workflows, the solution helps bankers respond faster to borrower needs while reducing friction for internal teams.

Arvest’s confidence in Baker Hill is reinforced by a long history of successful platform evolution. Over the years, the bank has adopted multiple Baker Hill solutions, including OnePoint™, Bank 2 Business™, and Statement Analyzer, before upgrading to UN/FY™. This continued investment reflects Baker Hill’s ability to consistently deliver innovation and measurable results.
