More Than Just Banks: Vanessa Gibson Applauds Ponce Bank Community-First Approach

Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson has emphasized the vital role that banks play beyond financial transactions, calling them essential pillars of the community.

“Our banks play a crucial role in the economic success of our borough and the well-being of our residents,” Gibson stated. “They are not just places to manage finances—they serve as community hubs, where relationships are built, resources are shared, and local businesses can thrive.”

Highlighting the efforts of Ponce Bank, she praised the institution for going beyond traditional banking to foster community engagement.

“I am proud to see institutions like Ponce Bank embody this vision, transforming their branches into vibrant, community-centric destinations that attract new customers and strengthen the ties between the financial sector and the neighborhoods they serve.”

Gibson also expressed gratitude for the bank’s ongoing contributions to the Bronx. “I want to thank Ponce Bank for being a true partner and good neighbor, especially as they continue to support our borough through their resilience and commitment to helping local residents and businesses grow.”

Her remarks underscore a growing push for financial institutions to serve as active community stakeholders, bridging economic growth with social impact.
