Cass Information Systems, a provider of information and payment management solutions, named Eric Giering president of Cass Commercial Bank, its commercial banking subsidiary.
Giering succeeds Dwight D. Erdbruegger, who will retire in September after serving as president of Cass Commercial Bank since July 2018. Under Erdbruegger’s leadership, the bank strengthened its market position, expanded key lines of business and continued its long-standing record of conservative credit management and strong financial performance.
Giering has served as director of commercial banking since joining Cass Commercial Bank in 2019. During his tenure, he has played a key role in advancing the bank’s commercial banking strategy, supporting growth and strengthening client relationships while maintaining the bank’s long-standing commitment to disciplined credit practices and sound risk management.
“Eric is a proven leader with a deep understanding of our clients, our culture and our commitment to prudent banking,” Martin Resch, president and CEO of Cass Information Systems, said. “His experience, leadership style and strategic mindset position him well to continue the bank’s tradition of stability and thoughtful growth.”
Giering brings more than three decades of commercial banking experience, including senior leadership roles at BMO Harris Bank, Commerce Bank, National City Bank and First of America Bank. His background includes extensive experience in credit risk management, portfolio leadership and new business development across multiple industries and markets.
“I am honored to serve as president of Cass Commercial Bank,” Giering said. “Cass has an exceptional legacy built on integrity, disciplined risk management and strong relationships. I look forward to working with our talented team to support our clients and continue delivering consistent, long-term value.”
Giering holds a master of business administration in finance from Central Michigan University and a bachelor of business administration in finance from Western Michigan University.
