Primary niches include manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, professional services (medical, legal, financial, import/exporters) and real estate industries. The bank also specializes in SBA lending, homeowners’ association banking and religious lending. The legal lending limit is in excess of $3 million; however, the bank is open to participation with other financial institutions to accommodate larger credits if needed.
