About HelpDesk Portal 365

A trusted partner to financial institutions since 2014

Built by IT Leaders,
for Financial Institutions

HelpDesk Portal 365 was founded by a team of IT operations veterans who spent years managing technology for mid-size banks and credit unions. We saw firsthand how generic help desk providers failed the financial industry—agents who didn't understand core banking systems, SLAs that ignored trading-floor urgency, and compliance gaps that created audit findings.

We built HelpDesk Portal 365 to be different. Every analyst on our team is trained on the specific platforms, regulations, and workflows of the financial services industry. We don't just answer tickets—we understand the business context behind every issue.

Today, we support over 140 financial institutions across the United States, from community credit unions to regional investment firms, providing the same level of dedicated, knowledgeable support that only the largest banks could previously afford.

What Drives Us Every Day

Our core values are reflected in every interaction, every ticket, and every engagement.

🕑

Urgency

In financial services, minutes matter. Whether it's a trading platform outage or a teller workstation failure, we treat every issue with the urgency it deserves. Our team is trained to prioritize based on business impact, not just technical severity.

🔐

Security First

We handle sensitive credentials and access controls in highly regulated environments. Every process we follow is designed to protect your data, satisfy your auditors, and maintain the trust your customers place in you.

👥

Partnership

We don't act as a faceless vendor—we integrate with your IT team as a seamless extension. Dedicated account managers, shared runbooks, regular service reviews, and direct access to our operations leadership.

📚

Continuous Learning

Financial technology evolves rapidly. Our analysts complete ongoing training on new platform versions, emerging threats, and regulatory changes. We invest over 200 hours per analyst annually in professional development.

📈

Accountability

We publish monthly service reports with full transparency on response times, resolution rates, ticket trends, and customer satisfaction scores. If we miss an SLA, you'll know—and you'll receive service credits automatically.

Compliance Alignment

Every procedure, every access control, and every documentation standard we maintain is designed with FFIEC, SOX, PCI-DSS, and GLBA requirements in mind. Your examiners will find us well-prepared.
