The Future is Now: Integrated Banking and Payments Under One Roof with WestTown Payments
Dart Bank, one of Michigan’s longest-tenured financial institutions, is making it easier for businesses to manage all their banking and day-to-day payment processing needs under one roof. On Monday, December 9, 2024, the Bank announced the integration of its wholly owned payment processing company, WestTown Payments.

Hufnagel, President and CEO of Dart Bank. “By processing directly with Dart Bank, merchants will benefit by working directly with their bank and will avoid paying third-party processing fees.”
