New York City residents are giving rave reviews to Spring Bank.  "I've been in New York more than 30 years doing business with all the banks—Chase, Citi, all of them—and they never cared about me. But my bank now, it is a lovely bank,” said Bronx poultry salesman Hamad Ali. Spring provides real estate loans for business like Mr. Ali’s as well as a payday loan alternative called Borrow and Save. "Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people in the Bronx alone need financial services that they just don't have access to in the banking environment," said Brian Blake, Spring Bank's vice president. "That's what we're here to do: make our customers re-examine what they've heard and learned about financial products."
