Ponce Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ponce Financial Group (PFG), is a Minority Depository Institution (MDI), a certified CDFI and a certified SBA lender. Ponce Bank is a federally chartered savings association with deep New York City roots and steadfast commitment to equitable access to banking.

We employ a highly qualified and professional staff and offer a wide variety of products and services designed to meet the needs of our customers and our communities. We are honored to serve our communities and will be honored to serve you through the Ponce De Leon Foundation. Ponce De Leon Foundation’s mission is to help address the economic and social challenges faced by the communities we serve by supporting programs targeted towards our core priority areas: affordable housing, healthcare, economic development, education, social services, cultural events and targeted programming for Youth and Senior services.
