Flushing Financial joined the the Small Business Loan Program created by BancAlliance and Fundation.

The Small Business Loan Program introduces a new financial technology platform that allows small businesses to access an online portal that will guide each small business customer to the products that best meet its unique need. Flushing Bank’s small business customers now have the ability to apply online.

John R. Buran, Flushing president and CEO, said, “We have been serving the small business market for over ten years. Our participation in the Small Business Loan Program allows us to expand our offering to better serve the rapidly evolving small business lending market.”

Sam Graziano, CEO of Fundation, said, “We are invested in driving the success of small business owners and partnering with Flushing Bank to do just that. The program we have created with our partner BancAlliance is unmatched within the industry, empowering community banks like Flushing Bank to serve their small business customer base and their local communities in an unparalleled way.”

Brian Graham, CEO of BancAlliance, said, “Our commitment is to the asset growth and diversification of the community banks we serve with a focus on expanding their relevance to their customers. This unique partnership with Fundation puts community banks at the forefront to be competitive with larger lending institutions without changing the traditional mission of community banking.”
