BancAlliance Surpasses $1 Billion in Loans Outstanding to American Companies

CHEVY CHASE, Md.--()--BancAlliance announced today that its bank members now collectively hold over $1 billion in loans made to American middle-market companies. The BancAlliance network encompasses over 200 community and regional banks, located across 41 states.

"The steady growth of loans made by community banks, through the BancAlliance network, continues to show the power of the community bank model when paired with a cooperative network structure," said Brian Graham, CEO of Alliance Partners which manages the BancAlliance network for the benefit of its member banks. "As BancAlliance members continue to use the network to satisfy the borrowing needs of American companies, the collective power of the network, and the community bank model, grows."

BancAlliance members lend to borrowers representing a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to logistics to healthcare. These borrowers collectively employ tens of thousands of people, and contribute to the economy in a wide variety of ways.

The BancAlliance network offers access to cooperative loan programs - including a commercial lending program and a recently announced consumer lending program - as well as market information and educational resources through Alliance Academy which was launched in June 2014.
