The Secret Sauce E82

Thomas Inserra is doing big things for small businesses. During the pandemic, he noticed the imbalance of small businesses being shuttered mainly due to the lack of capital. It was through this need an idea was born to provide banking needs to small businesses, but they provide even more than that. Integro Bank provides value to companies with free peer data and specially trained bankers that will help small business owners maximize their potential.

Integro Bank has the “secret sauce” that is two-part: access to data and helping business owners understand their options in order to make informed decisions. We’re excited to see where Integro Bank is going and all the work being done to help small businesses achieve success.

Phoenix based Integro Bank, a tech-based B2B start-up that recently received regulatory approval to organize and raise capital – has a Mission of helping small businesses grow and maximize employment. Integro Bank will be a digital bank with its proprietary Integro 360 consultation tool powered with impactful data analytics to serve the unique needs of small businesses.

The Bank’s primary market area will be the five-county region of Maricopa County in Arizona, Riverside County, San Diego County and Orange County in California, and Clark County in Nevada, with a major emphasis on Maricopa County. The Bank intends to have only one physical location as it will serve its clients through innovative digital services.

The Bank’s principal business office will be located at 16215 North 28th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85053. The proposed Bank has 46 Founders who have contributed $5.5 million or 20% of the minimum capital to be raised. The Bio’s of the highly experienced executive officers and board members are on the company website at: www.integrobank.com.

Thomas Inserra has 30+ years’ banking experience including leadership roles at Pacific Mercantile Bank, Susquehanna Bank/BB&T, HFC, Citibank, the FDIC, served as CEO and Board Member of a publicly traded FinTech and CEO of a bank Asset Resolution corp. He also serves as a Founder/Investor.

Thomas held subsequent roles in Phoenix, AZ and Washington, DC at the FDIC during a major economic crisis helping to manage 747 distressed banks with $402 billion in assets. This experience allowed him to witness the incredible negative consequences that can occur during cyclical economic down cycles that are bound to occur, when some businesses and banks are inadequately prepared to weather challenging times.

This led to the realization of the importance of long-term planning, good governance, risk management, revenue diversification, measuring performance with metrics and studying best practices – to improve the sustainability of businesses and banks.

After helping to successfully turn-around a Southern California small business bank, Mr. Inserra returned home to Arizona and was quite dismayed to witness the harsh negative effects that COVID had on small business, and upon learning that Arizona ranked near last in the nation in PPP support of small business, and remembering the tremendously positive impact that small business employment had in transforming his own life, he felt a calling to do his part to help small business at a time when they most needed help.

Thomas shared his observations with other leaders – that banks were offering standardized products rather than rolling up their sleeves and providing customized consulting solutions like INTEGRO360sm – which is the solution that Small Business really needs to maximize growth. Soon, a Board and Executive team devoted exclusively to helping small business was formed.

Alyssa Samuelson was born and raised near Des Moines, Iowa. After high school, she decided to venture west and attended The University of Arizona. She received an incredible education from the university and loved the Arizona weather, even the summers!

After working in Tucson at a small software company for a year after college, she relocated to Scottsdale and accepted a position with a small software company. Her personal aspirations lead her in the direction of real estate within 2 years. She came upon an opportunity with a small real estate company she subsequently purchased in 2004.

Since that time, the company has changed and grown dramatically. She loves what she does and enjoys working with her clients and helping them with their real estate needs.

In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, practicing and teaching yoga (she is also a certified yoga instructor), hiking, tennis, attending sporting events, relaxing with her pets, and bonding with her close group of friends.
