By replacing a legacy system with AFSVision's modern capabilities, including pre boarding, API driven integration, advanced reporting, and improved workflow management, MCB has established a scalable operational foundation for long term growth and gained holistic data visibility across teams, enabling more effective data modeling and decision-making. &#34;We're grateful for the Adoption Award and proud of the progress we have made together in launching our new commercial lending system,&#34; said Dixi Berrios, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Metropolitan Commercial Bank. &#34;Implementing AFSVision and using IRIS Reporting as a core part of our operations will strengthen our processes and support better decision making. We value our relationship with AFS and look forward to continuing to grow together.&#34; AFSVision Pioneer Award 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. &#34;Synovus launched AFSVision in Q2 of 2025, and we surpassed our expected volumes rather quickly, earning us this Growth Award. We're honored to be recognized and value the strong partnership we've built with AFS. With AFSVision's flexibility and capabilities, we're well positioned to continue scaling our business.&#34; Todd Luepke, Managing Director – Capital Markets Partnership Award The Partnership Award honors our longstanding client collaboration that has played a meaningful role in shaping the evolution of AFSVision. Through active engagement and strategic partnership, our client's insight has helped guide the development of key features and straight through processing capabilities that are now broadly available across the AFS client community, strengthening the platform and advancing the industry. Execution Award The Execution Award recognizes Huntington Bank for delivering outstanding execution across multiple key initiatives. This has enabled Huntington to fully leverage the latest AFSVision enhancements, drive greater efficiency, and built a resilient operational foundation, and allowed them to seamlessly incorporate added volume from two recent acquisitions and continue to scale with confidence. Reflecting the collaborative spirit behind this year's recognition, Amy Crum, SVP Commercial and Payment Operations -Business Integration Director at Huntington Bank, shared, &#34;We're pleased to accept the Execution Award.
