WESTWOOD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ZSuiteTech—ZSuite Technologies (ZSuite Tech), a financial technology company that powers financial institutions with unbound digital accounts encompassing escrow, subaccounting, sub-ledgering, FBO and trust accounts for commercial customers, today announced it has partnered with Reading Cooperative Bank (RCB) to launch ZEscrow, the industry’s first completely digital commercial escrow solution. Additionally, the bank is providing small business customers access to ZRent, an automated rent and fee collection tool.
With more than 11 locations throughout Massachusetts, RCB, a cooperative owned by its customers, takes pride in its mission to help the people and businesses within its community realize their plans and dreams. The bank selected ZSuite Technologies as a partner to grow its commercial business, expanding into new verticals and markets without the need to add any new support resources. Additionally, RCB will be able to offer its existing clients a new, intuitive, digital platform that eliminates manual paperwork and streamlines subaccounting processes, while also adhering to applicable compliance requirements, saving the bank and its clients both time and money.
Jessica Glezellis, Vice President, Cash Management Officer of RCB, said, “Entrepreneurs and small business owners are a vital part of our community, and we are committed to helping these organizations thrive by providing tools that generate operational efficiencies, as well as drive future growth.

Additionally, processes that conventionally were very complex and manual are now completely automated, allowing our employees to focus on more personalized and engaging service.”
