New bank targets Latinos in South Bronx - Hispanic MPR

In early November 2007, CheckSpring Bank opened its flagship branch on 167 Street in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City, a few blocks north of the new Yankee Stadium. According to a bank representative, it is the first new bank headquartered in the neighborhood in 25 years. The new bank will target under-served and under-banked Latinos in the community.

“The opening of CheckSpring Bank is certainly representative of the continued and needed economic development that is now occurring in our Bronx community,” said Rita Di Martino, chair of the Board of the Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center.”*
