“We’re grateful for the Adoption Award and proud of the progress we have made together in launching our new commercial lending system,” said Dixi Berrios, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Metropolitan Commercial Bank. “Implementing AFSVision and using IRIS Reporting as a core part of our operations will strengthen our processes and support better decision making.

The AFSVision Pioneer Award recognizes our client who demonstrated early vision and leadership by implementing AFSVision at an early stage of the platform’s evolution.
Over more than a decade, AFSVision has supported our client’s changing operational model and now serves as a critical foundation for its ongoing re imagining initiatives, including digital innovation, expanded AI capabilities, and modernization of the customer experience.
Growth Award
This award recognizes Synovus (recently merged with Pinnacle Financial Partners) for achieving exceptional growth using the AFSVision platform to enhance their ability to generate syndications business and achieve additional revenue for the bank.
“Synovus launched AFSVision in Q2 of 2025, and we surpassed our expected volumes rather quickly, earning us this Growth Award.
