Customers Bank Delivers Insight, Expertise at 2018 EB-5 Convention
WYOMISSING, Pa., July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Customers Bank, the region’s leading super-community bank with operations in Pennsylvania, D.C., Illinois, New York, New Jersey and New England, shared its insight and expertise in EB-5 funding at the 2018 EB-5 Convention in Los Angeles this week as part of its commitment to driving the U.S. economy through increased investments and job creation.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which is administered by the Department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, was created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investments. The program, which uses globalization to solve the need for flexible and affordable financing for regional economic development projects throughout the country, has produced a substantial increase in much-needed foreign direct investments in the U.S., and has experienced exponential growth since 2008.
Namia Sultana, Senior Vice President and Banking Group Head for Customers Bank, CB Private & Commercial Bank, presented as part of a panel discussion, “Capital Stack Completion: Where to Go for Non EB-5 Funds – Solutions for When Your Raise Has Come Up Short.” Customers Bank also sponsored the Top 100 Global Migration Agency CEOs Awards Ceremony, which was held on Sunday, July 22, 2018.
“The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program brings much-needed economic stimuli and jobs to the United States without any additional costs to the taxpayer – truly a win-win for everyone involved,” said Jay Sidhu, Chairman and CEO of Customers Bank. “As industry innovators, Customers Bank is able to develop and deliver financing solutions that other banks aren’t capable of, offering our customers and the communities we serve unparalleled service and support. We’re proud to support the EB-5 program.”
