Municipal Banking

Public funds are some of the stickiest, lowest-cost deposits a bank can hold, and the hardest to service. Hudson runs the virtual account setup, payments, signatory controls, and reconciliation behind every municipal relationship, so you can take on more with less risk and headcount.

The stickiest deposits in your area code

Win the next municipal RFP without rebuilding the public-funds workflow from scratch.

All municipal funds, tracked and accounted for

A single municipal client means dozens or hundreds of separate projects each with approval chains, spending restrictions, and reporting requirements. Hudson handles everything from creation to disbursement.
