EagleBank announced the expansion of its product offerings with the addition of a Full Service Equipment Leasing program. Equipment leasing services will be offered through EagleBank Leasing Services – an alliance between EagleBank and The ELEX Group, Inc. (an independent leasing company with over 40 years of experience in the industry). Equipment leasing (both operating and capital leases) is now available for all types of business equipment, which will provide customers the convenience and flexibility of alternative financing to traditional bank financing.

"Offering a business equipment leasing program is the next step to providing full service banking for our commercial customers. With an equipment leasing product, EagleBank can now provide our customers with another alternative for financing their capital equipment, an important step in expanding their business. The equipment leasing program enhances our current product offerings and allows us to provide up to a 100% financing solution to satisfy the varying requirements of our business customers," said Chairman and CEO Ronald D. Paul.

"Many business customers prefer the ease and efficiencies of leasing their needed equipment, and we are pleased to be able to provide them with that option through our partnership with ELEX," stated Lindsey S. Rheaume, Executive Vice President & Chief C&I Lending Officer.
