RALEIGH, N.C., May 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Citizens Bank today announced it has helped nearly 23,000 businesses across the company’s franchise secure loans totaling $3.2 billion through the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program.
“Taking care of our customers is our promise – it’s who we are, especially during times like these,” said Chairman and CEO Frank Holding. “I’d like to thank our clients for their patience and trust in us as we’ve navigated this process and the unusual operating environment. I’d also like to thank our associates for diligently working day and night to help businesses access this PPP funding. It’s been an incredible display of teamwork and dedication, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support small businesses and their vital role in the communities we serve.”
