LYMERICK, Pa., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Victory Bank is proud to have funded $100 million in PPP loans to local businesses.

Many members of the staff worked tirelessly, seven days a week, sometimes logging 17 hour days, to make sure each loan was processed and booked without error, while continuing to serve the existing lending and deposit needs of the bank’s clients.

“I believe it is impossible to overstate the critical importance of having local banks headquartered in the community that are available to supply much-needed credit and solve financial problems. This approach is far different from those of large banks or the many non-banks promoting “bank-like” services on the Internet. Never was this more evident than over the past year and a half. That’s why our bank exists - to provide essential services to our local communities and help create stability and prosperity for all,” stated Joseph Major, CEO and Bank Leader.

The bank continues to support local businesses, providing customized lending solutions with expert advice.
