PONCE BANK
CONGRATULATES STEVEN A.
TSAVARIS ON HIS
KINGS OF THE BRONX RECOGNITION
Ponce Bank was born in The Bronx in 1960, when
most banks had abandoned what many perceived to
be a community in decline but in which our founders
saw nothing but the potential of proud neighborhoods
anchored by a strong immigrant work ethic and entrepreneurial
spirit. They dreamed all that was needed was a
financial fuel, and in the 60 years since, we’ve provided
that fuel for this engine of creativity and resilience as
we helped develop pockets of this spirit throughout The
Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and New Jersey.
This spirit is shared by our chairman Steven A. Tsavaris.
Today, we celebrate Steven’s recognition as a member of
Bronx Times’ Kings of the Bronx and we affirm our commitment
to the diverse communities we were founded to
serve 60 years ago.
Ponce Bank Chairman
We all face an unprecedented challenge in the COVID-19
pandemic but our communities have especially suffered
at the hands of this vicious virus. Our hearts open to
those suffering, including the small-business owners,
the property owners whose rental income helps pay
the bills, our heroic first responders and all the workers
and immigrants who’ve fueled the rise of our neighborhoods
in recent decades. We share our Ponce Love to
the many legacy customers upon whose vision and hard
work these thriving communities were built and want you
to know that Ponce Bank remains here to help through
these difficult times and those that lie ahead. Ponce Bank
was here in 1960 and thanks to visionary leaders like
Steven A Tsavaris, we are here today.
Ponce Bank. Dreamers Welcome.
