BREA, Calif. - November 21, 2017 - (Newswire.com)
Small business lender, Lendistry, announced they have received a $500K commitment from Pacific Western Bank to the Lendistry CRA Loan Fund I. The Lendistry CRA Loan Fund invests in commercial small business (C&I) and commercial real estate (CRE) loans, providing more funding opportunities for small business owners throughout California. Pacific Western Bank, wholly owned by PacWest Bancorp which was named best bank in the United States for 2017 by Forbes Magazine, has branches throughout Southern and Central California plus one in North Carolina.
"We have always viewed banks as partners in providing funding to small businesses," said Everett K. Sands, Lendistry CEO. "Combining our strengths is a better way to serve the community."
Lendistry's designation as a CDFI and their approval as an SBA lender afford investors security with federal and state guarantees on loans, while borrowers benefit from lower rates and longer terms. The traditional bank and the relative fintech newcomer form a natural partnership with their shared mission to provide the best products and services available to the business community.
Pacific Western Bank's SVP, CRA Officer, Greg Matthews says, "We are very pleased to partner with Lendistry to better reach small business owners to provide the funding they need to succeed."
Pacific Western Bank is a Los Angeles-based commercial bank with over $25 billion in assets.
