The Small Business Banking Partnership is an economic initiative that shifts state cash deposits under the control of the Treasurer to qualifying Massachusetts banks to expand their small business lending. The program promotes small business growth by providing creditworthy organizations with greater access to bank loans.
“I am delighted by BankFive’s continued participation in the Small Business Banking Partnership,” said Treasurer Deborah Goldberg. “Local small businesses depend on these loans to expand and create additional employment opportunities that are vital to economic growth in Massachusetts”.
Through the successful partnership, BankFive has originated 30 small business loans totaling over $7.6 million. From those loans, 31 new jobs were created and more than 200 jobs retained. Loans have been originated for qualified borrowers through the SouthCoast, including, Fall River, Swansea, Rehoboth, Dartmouth, New Bedford, Berkley, Whitman, Chatham, Taunton and Mansfield.
