Meet Your Neighbor: Ivelisse Paniagua

"I work for Ponce Bank, a community Bank that supports community members often overlooked by larger banks. We work with all sorts of neighbors, from young folks who have never worked with a bank to small businesses with diverse financial needs. I have the pleasure of managing the Ponce Bank in Forest Hills, Queens. (Go Queens!)

QCH does so much important work within the neighborhood; my customers, neighbors, and folks who work at Ponce Bank are always talking about QCH. I have the pleasure of working with QCH to develop events and seminars that allow neighbors to learn about opportunities, supports, and tools to help them achieve their financial goals. What I love most about partnering with QCH is how much passion both Ponce Bank and QCH have for Queens! That commitment leads to so much good for our Queens neighbors. There's nothing I love more than fostering opportunity. It's truly a gift to be able to help community members shine and grow."
