MONTEBELLO, N.Y., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Provident Bank today announced that it will open a Commercial Loan Center in Tarrytown, N.Y., the first step in a planned expansion into Westchester County. The office will be open on or about December 1.
The Commercial Loan Center will be located at the Talleyrand Office Park, 200 White Plains Road and will provide a full range of financing for small and mid-sized businesses, including mortgages, lines of credit, construction and equipment financing and SBA loans. Provident Bank Senior Vice President Bill Lamadore and Regional Vice President Vincent DeLucia will lead the team of six employees based in Tarrytown.
“Westchester County has a robust economy with a large number of growing small and mid-sized businesses,” said George Strayton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Provident Bank. “Provident Bank’s new Westchester Loan Center will give the county’s entrepreneurs the financing, local expertise and fast, local decision making they need to thrive in today’s challenging economy.”
The Commercial Loan Center is the beginning of an expansion into Westchester by Provident Bank, which already has 33 branches throughout the Hudson Valley region. During the next few years, Provident Bank will be looking at opportunities to expand its presence in Westchester County, including offices providing a full range of personal and business banking and lending services to meet the needs of the county’s businesses.

Our experienced commercial lending officers have an average of 25 years of experience in serving business customers.”
