A History of Excellence

We’re honored to weave a rich heritage of excellence through diverse expertise into every single partnership and project. Every LEVEL5 team member brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. Our Executive Vice President, Kurt Klassen, has been in banking since before banking statements became electronic. Actually, he was a trailblazer on that front, helping pave the way for online statements. During that process, Kurt really discovered how much cutting-edge technology has the power to impact environments, engagement, experiences and ultimately success. Our President, Luke Kassler, brings his consultancy prowess and real estate expertise to the table. Together, and with several other industry-leading pioneers on the team, we’re dedicated to thinking (and building) outside the box to ensure your growth.

Built on a Solid Foundation of Trust

“Our purpose is to streamline your growth so that you can focus on running your financial institution. Smoke and mirrors are terrible building blocks. You deserve honesty, transparency and excellence every step of the way. We pride ourselves in cultivating long-lasting partnerships and extraordinary results.”

Luke Kassler, President

Mission focused and Results Driven

Our mission is to guide financial institutions to their full potential so that they can serve members and customers well and help communities thrive.

We understand that growth doesn't just happen. It’s the result of careful forecasting, strategic planning and a thousand other insight-driven decisions before construction even begins.

We’re empathetic to the fact that your pain points are unique, so your strategic plan and execution must be custom. That’s why our team is made up of thought leaders, subject matter experts and solution-oriented design and build gurus ready to tackle any and every obstacle on your road to growth.
