Customers Bank opened a second Commercial Lending office in Philadelphia to address market growth and the needs of the city’s thriving businesses.

The expansion into Logan Square enables the bank to provide its expertise in commercial banking to a broader range of organizations and customers throughout the Philadelphia region, as well as more efficiently serve commercial, industrial and small business customers’ specialized needs.

The new office will offer loan production for commercial, industrial and real estate lending, leveraging the bank’s high-tech, high-touch, single-point-of-contact model.
