July No-Code Coffee: A Bank President Built His Own Credit Workflow with Claude (Fable 5)

Andy Schornack is President of Security Bank & Trust Co., a $1.3 billion community bank with 21 offices across Minnesota. He's spent 20 years in banking, working his way from community bank intern up to CEO of Flagship Bank Minnesota, which he built from a $90 million bank starting in 2013 before merging it into Security Bank & Trust in 2024.

He's also not a developer — and he just built a full credit workflow system anyway.

Using Fable 5, Andy built a lending officer dashboard that runs on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Lists as the database — tracking deals, borrowers, credit analyst review, and loan facilities in one place. He's already rolled it out to his own lending team for testing, and he's planning to share it for free with other community banks that are stuck paying for complexity they don't need.

This month at No-Code Coffee, Andy joins us to talk about what it actually looked like to go from "rough draft" to a live internal tool — using AI, not an IT department.

What we'll cover:

• Andy's path into banking — 20 years, intern to CEO to president, and what community banking looks like from the inside
• Why he built it himself — the credit workflow problem community banks face, and why the tools on the market felt like overkill
• Building with Claude (Fable 5) — how a React app pointed at SharePoint Lists became a working credit dashboard, and what it took to go from version 1 to version 6
• What's next — his plan to give the tool away to other community banks as a "credit process in a box"
• Roundtable — open time for attendees to share what they've been building lately

Who this is for:

• Non-technical founders and operators who want to see a real, working example of AI-built software
• Anyone in banking, finance, or a regulated industry curious how AI fits into existing systems like M365
• Builders who want to hear what it's really like to ship something with Claude, mistakes and all
• Community members ready to share their own builds during the roundtable
