How Ponce Bank lends with purpose, from low-income neighborhoods to skyline-shaping developments
Ponce Bank’s story began in the Bronx in 1960, when founders from Puerto Rico saw an opportunity to help their neighbors build a stronger future. Today, that story reaches across New York City, through affordable housing, growing businesses and developments taking their place in the skyline.
Behind those projects are relationships: conversations at a client’s business, visits to a construction site and a banking team that takes the time to understand what someone hopes to build. In a sponsored feature in The Real Deal, our Executive Vice President & Chief Lending Officer Yanni Kouzilos shares how that personal approach continues to guide Ponce as we grow.
From the article:
“We are doing business in the communities that we live in,” emphasizes Kouzilos. “Our engagement and presence is important, not just as a bank or as bankers or as professionals, but also as residents from the same cities and the same neighborhoods.”
