Furthers Commitment to Venture Banking and Early-Stage Companies

Customers Bank, the $22 billion asset subsidiary of Customers Bancorp (NYSE:CUBI), is furthering its commitment as a leading partner to the venture banking and startup communities through its sixth overall venture fund investment.

After submitting a winning bid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Customers Bank purchased a minority limited partnership interest for $5 million in the fund at an approximate 70% discount to the original cost of investment.

“This investment further solidifies Customers Bank’s position as a leading partner to the venture community,” said Customers Bank president and CEO, Sam Sidhu. “It also provides access to deal, partner and client flow in the venture tech and startup sectors, both areas of strategic growth for the Bank. Investments like these have increased the size of Customers’ venture banking client base and helped source technology partners for the Bank’s operational and technology roadmap.”

Through Customers Bank’s June 2023 purchase of a $631 million legacy Signature Bank loan portfolio from the FDIC and the integration of approximately 30 highly experienced venture bankers with a national presence, it continues to support and provide resources to entrepreneurs and the markets they operate in across the U.S.

Customers Bank’s 2023 investments, and the related stability provided to venture and tech communities, enabled the Bank to quadruple its portfolio of clients served in the space.
