Benefit Provider – The Bank of Tampa
Relationship Banking Defined
Kyle Keith, Marketing Director kkeith@bankoftampa.com
The Bank of Tampa has maintained a strong, stable presence throughout the Tampa Bay area, solidifying a reputation of consistency and dependability with a focus on a diverse client base of owner- managed businesses, professionals, and families. We have successfully partnered with Tampa Bay’s business community for 35 years and have established a solid reputation as a relationship-driven bank.
While always a mainstay of our business philosophy, chal- lenges presented over the past year have solidified the importance of strong relationships between our bankers and our clients. Throughout the pandemic, we have connected with business owners and professionals to provide financial expertise and guid- ance, including access to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
During the first round of PPP alone, The Bank of Tampa proudly supported more than 2,200 businesses and nonprofits by funding more than $393 million in PPP loans and positively im- pacting more than 40,400 jobs right here within our community. During the current round of PPP, we have helped over 1,000 busi- nesses and nonprofits secure an additional $137 million in PPP funding.
With the increasingly good news about vaccine rollout, which appears to be resulting in a more optimistic view of economic con- ditions, we look forward to helping our clients with their unique business objectives in 2021. We have a deep, successful history in the medical community, through our long-tenured relationship with the Hillsborough County Medical Association, and we are eager to assist our medical partners to meet their financial objec- tives. We offer a variety of customized financial strategies for the
medical community, including unique cash management strate- gies to enhance, preserve and protect your financial well-being. In addition, we offer debt solutions (with up to 100% financing*) to support the needs of your practice including real estate, expan- sion, acquisition, and working capital.
Our success is the result of knowing our market and knowing our clients. We view our clients as partners, not transactions, and take great pride in being a reliable resource and trusted advisor to them. Our team of experienced financial professionals focuses on solutions strategically developed to fit the individual needs of your practice.
At The Bank of Tampa, the relationships we have with our cli- ents go far beyond transactional banking—we stand by you every step of the way, during good times as well as uncertain ones. We are committed to our clients and the community at large—work- ing together to keep moving forward.
