Case Study: Bridgewater Bank achieves five-day post-closing turnaround and paperless efficiency with AccuSystems' AccuAccount

A Journey from Paper to Efficiency

Bridgewater Bank of Bloomington, Minnesota, grew rapidly to more than $1 billion in assets and faced mounting space constraints, risk from paper files, slow back-office processes, and burdensome audit preparation as its loan, deposit, and customer document volumes expanded. To replace its paper-dependent workflow, the bank’s cross‑functional team selected AccuAccount from AccuSystems as its electronic document management solution.

AccuSystems implemented AccuAccount in early 2015 with staff training and scanned/indexed the entire loan and deposit backlog in less than a year. The system automated exception clearing, reduced outstanding tickler items from over 1,000 to seven pages, shortened average post‑closing time from about 30 days to five days, improved auditor/examiner access via export tools, and delivered measurable efficiency gains and a strong ROI across the bank.
