“Metropolitan Bank was an integral partner in all my projects over the last several years. The staff at the Bank branches have always been extremely helpful and thoughtful in their advice and services. Metropolitan Bank' vast experience across the spectrum of industries has proven to be a gamechanger in how I’ve been able to take an idea to reality. Metropolitan Bank’ expertise has allowed my wife (Monika) and I to build cornerstone businesses here in Central Pennsylvania and beyond. From the restoration of the Harrisburg Beach Club on City Island, the Atlas Building redevelopment in Camp Curtin, the Meeka Jewelry stores in Camp Hill, PA and flagship store in Newport, RI the team at Metropolitan Bank has been with us from the starting concept to the ribbon cutting.”

"We had a dream to open PepperPot Jamaican Restaurant to share Caribbean food and our culture with our central PA neighbors, and the pandemic inspired us to make a change. Metropolitan Bank went above and beyond with our SBA loan and gave us a life-changing opportunity. Their customer service was fantastic, professional, and respectful. We would recommend Metropolitan Bank to the world!"
