Ponce Bank was born in The Bronx in 1960, when most banks had abandoned what many perceived to be a community in decline but in which our founders saw nothing but the potential of proud neighborhoods anchored by a strong immigrant work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. They dreamed all that was needed was a financial fuel, and in the 60 years since, we’ve provided that fuel for this engine of creativity and resilience as we helped develop pockets of this spirit throughout The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and New Jersey. We never landed in comfortable places, choosing to help where help was needed most, and during this time we’ve become trusted partners throughout the communities we serve.
