Partnered with Ken Auspaker IntraFi to discuss strategies on leveraging deposits to build and support sustainable communities at this week’s Opal Group Family Office and Private Wealth Management forum. Ponce Bank has a long history of bridging financial gaps in distressed areas. Projects we finance aren’t just real estate transactions they’re community investments that stabilize neighborhoods, open doors to homeownership and build generational wealth. As a community bank and CDFI this is the kind of impact we were built for and proud to deliver.
