Citizens Alliance Bank Chooses Autobooks to Elevate Small Business Banking: Expanded digital experience will feature tools built specifically for micro- and small business customers.
Citizens Alliance Bank today announced that it has elected to embed the Autobooks solution for small businesses into their existing digital banking platform. This partnership will enable Citizens Alliance Bank small business customers/members to get paid online or in-app, directly inside their online and mobile banking.
Autobooks is an emerging leader in digital invoicing and payment acceptance and is a leading integrated-payments provider for small business banking. The integration of the Autobooks invoicing and payment acceptance modules into the Citizens Alliance Bank digital banking platform will help small business owners and nonprofits better manage cash flow and keep track of their customersʼ payment status. With just a few clicks, this much-needed tool helps users create and send invoices, schedule recurring invoices, and receive card and ACH payments directly into their Citizens Alliance Bank checking account.
In addition to invoicing and online payment acceptance, Autobooks offers cash flow management, accounting, and financial reporting tools as part of its full product suite. With Autobooks, Citizens Alliance Bank can deliver workflow-related services that serve their clientsʼ immediate needs while increasing engagement, loyalty and profitability.
Autobooks partners with the industryʼs leading core processing, digital banking, and merchant processing providers so that Citizens Alliance Bank can quickly deploy to market. This set of integrations, coupled with Autobooks best-in-class go-to-market services, has allowed Citizens Alliance Bank to launch July 1, 2024, and start driving immediate small business adoption.
About Autobooks:
Autobooks empowers financial institutions of all sizes to better serve and monetize new and existing small business relationships by enabling business owners to send digital invoices, get paid online, manage cash flow, and automate accounting— all directly from their existing online and mobile banking. Because the Autobooks payment acceptance and invoicing tools are directly integrated into digital banking, a financial institutionʼs existing channels are transformed into a day-to-day destination for businesses — leading to increased deposits, non-interest fee income, and lending opportunities. Over time, Autobooks has been proven to reduce reliance on competing third-party apps, allowing financial institutions to (re)establish primacy in this crucial segment.

On July 18th, we celebrated a significant milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony of our new full-service branch and insurance agency in Montevideo, MN. This project marks a pivotal moment for the bank as it prepares to replace the current location with a new facility spanning approximately 8,800 square feet, aimed at better serving the community that has continuously supported them.
This project is not just about a new building; it’s about enhancing our services and strengthening our connection with the community we proudly call home. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without your support and trust.
We extend our thanks to Edman Builders and HTG Architects for their expertise and dedication in bringing this vision to life. Together, we are working to enhance our services and create a space that reflects our commitment to you.
