David Goldstein President, Diamond Ventures
“Alliance is truly a relationship bank. Their bankers know our business. From underwriting to credit approval to funding, the process is smooth and predictable. In our business, time and predictability are vitally important to our success.”
Sharon Harper President and CEO, Plaza Companies
“Alliance Bank of Arizona is intuitive, responsive, competitive, and very engaged. The bank is a great side-by-side partner for Plaza Companies.”
Jim Middleton Treasurer, BCS Enterprises Inc.
“We live and operate in the contracting world, where you often initially get evaluated as a number. But the best jobs happen between contractors that are based on trust, history and communication. Our banker looks at us as more than a number and meets our needs because of our mutual trust, history and communication.”
In the Black with RED Development Successful businesses need a bank that can more than keep up with them. That’s a blueprint Arizona-based RED Development has followed as it pursues high-profile retail and mixed-use projects that enliven communities from downtown Phoenix to uptown Dallas. RED excels in creating new large-scale projects, including the iconic, three-block CityScape that continues to catalyze important growth in Phoenix. The company also specializes in redeveloping and repositioning boutique properties, such as The Shops at Town & Country, a historic Phoenix retail gem that has attracted household-name tenants from Whole Foods and Nordstrom Rack to The Container Store. Alliance Bank of Arizona has been part of RED’s game-changing approach for more than 10 years and now also delivers treasury management services across RED’s eightstate footprint. “Because Alliance Bank also brings the strengths of Western Alliance, it can provide the types of financing and banking solutions that the largest banks do, with the service, speed and predictability of a local bank,” said Mike Ebert, Managing Partner, RED Development. “Alliance Bank does a great job at every touchpoint,” adds Ebert. “It’s hugely important to us to work with a bank that knows our industry, our company and our people. They know real estate, but they also know us. That’s Alliance Bank.” Mike Ebert Managing Partner, RED Development
Community Involvement
People at Alliance Bank of Arizona care deeply about improving quality of life in local communities across the state. We support affordable housing, education, job creation, workforce development, arts and culture, and so much more. Alliance Bank’s concentrated efforts in small business lending create opportunity that adds economic vitality at every level. And we always dedicate resources, time and talent to high-impact community service organizations that help low- to moderate-income individuals.
Giving Back in Arizona From financial literacy classes for elementary school students to mock interviews that help underemployed women find their potential in the workforce – and nearly everything in between – Alliance Bank team members reach far into the community as active volunteers. In just one measure of involvement, our bankers hold leadership positions in more than 100 charitable and business organizations statewide. We are dedicated to giving back locally through grants, donations and volunteering for a wide range of diverse causes. In fact, Alliance Bank of Arizona has earned the Phoenix Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Award for significant, ongoing community impact.
