“The Bank is proud to be a trusted source of financing for cooperative properties in the New York region,” said Mr. Howe. “We’ve experienced a significant jump in financing activity during March, which can be attributed to upcoming capital improvement projects scheduled for the approaching summer months, and the still-low interest rate environment.”
