Brea, CA, July 10, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Lendistry announced today that it has been approved for membership by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The technology-enabled small business lender will leverage the bank to offer affordable commercial real estate financing with a focus on serving those in historically underbanked communities.

“It’s an honor to be a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, an organization committed to community development by expanding availability of credit,” Everett K. Sands, Lendistry’s CEO, said. “We look forward to leveraging our unique business model of being a hybrid of a community bank and a fin-tech company to expand access to capital to all.”

Lendistry is committed to helping small businesses, which play a critical role in creating new jobs, growing local economies, and strengthening communities across our nation.”

Providing affordable real estate financing is a natural next step for Lendistry, as the company aims to provide a full array of solutions for small business owners. For many business owners, leasing space is a less risky, shorter-term commitment. But for those positioned for long-term sustainable growth, commercial property ownership provides stability and creates wealth.

“By offering our clients a full suite of commercial lending products, we can help every business in every stage of development from a start-up opening its doors to a corporation buying its first property,” Lendistry CEO, Everett K. Sands said.
