New York Bankers Association

Banking's dedicated and diverse workforce of over 100,000 professionals in more than 5,000 branches and offices of 150 institutions are working hard to safeguard the financial futures of 26 million New Yorkers, who entrust almost $2 trillion of their deposits to the care of state and federally regulated banks. New York banks nurture their neighbors' dreams of homeownership by making more than 100,000 mortgage loans per year. That's an investment of more than $50 billion per year in the future of our neighborhoods. And to power those neighborhoods, banks foster the economic engine of entrepreneurialism and small business ownership – loaning more than $20 billion per year, including a sizeable portion to Minority and Woman-owned Business Enterprises.
