In an interview with Bloomberg Brief, Urban Partnership Bank CEO William Farrow lays out his vision for the bank's future and discusses regulation of community banks: "For community banks, there is a higher cost of tracking and achieving compliance and keeping up with the rules. The last time I looked, the bank had over 70 visits [from regulators since August 2010]... When we assumed the ShoreBank footprint, I started to focus on creating small branches, with the maximum being about 1,500 square feet... We are trying to change to more of a commercial bank structure because we want to create jobs... the retail aspect is a mission because a lot of employees of our customers don’t have banking relationships, and we want to bring them into the banking system."
