Q & A with Three Industry Experts.

Healthcare

Q: How does the bank help healthcare companies take advantage of their opportunities?

A: One example is our expanding program involving the purchase of hospital accounts receivable – called HARP. Hospitals and patients around the country benefit from this program on a number of levels. Patients are provided with long-term, interest-free loans to repay their hospital obligations. Hospitals are relieved of the task of managing patient payments and receive immediate liquidity. No other bank does exactly what we do.
