BankProv to Scale its Specialty Banking Team to Serve Underserved Markets

BankProv, a future-ready commercial bank that offers adaptive and technology-first banking solutions to emerging markets, is expanding its Digital Asset team as the Bank pushes its full-service offering for the cryptocurrency community to the next level.

In 2021, BankProv became the first bank in the industry to extend a line of credit backed by Ether, announced its offering of equipment and infrastructure l**** to help crypto-mining businesses scale their operations, and launched a series of industry-leading APIs, inclusive of the new ProvXchange network for 24/7, client to client transfers.

BankProv will continue to support the cryptocurrency community through the alignment and promotion of key personnel:

Joe Kenney: Executive Vice President, Chief Lending Officer

When Joe Kenney joined the Bank in 2012, he was tasked with growing the Bank’s presence in Southern NH. Kenney eagerly rose to the challenge, building out a very successful lending team in our Bedford location.
