We began as a joint venture partner with Centerre Bancorp of St. Louis, Missouri. Our purpose was to provide Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan Administration Services to correspondent banks.
In 1987, after a larger regional bank purchased Centerre, Tri-Star became an independent corporation and continued to provide services to existing customers, while extending its reach beyond the banking business.
During the fourth quarter of 2005 Tri-Star acquired EzFlex4U.com of Kansas City, Missouri. The merger combines the outstanding data and systems capabilities of Tri-Star with the strong marketing and educational resources of EzFlex4U.com. The two companies have worked together under a joint venture agreement since 1999 and the merger represents the opportunity for both companies to expand both their services and marketplace. The combined company will continue to maintain offices in both the St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas.
Since that time, we have continued to grow, adding services to What We Do and expanding our customer base to regional and national companies/organizations.
