Schnall founded Quontic Bank in 2009 with a customer-centric focus. Schnall earned Quontic Bank the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s designation as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Quontic received the designation due to its focus on lending to low-to-moderate-income individuals and small businesses. The CDFI Certification allows Quontic Bank to empower low-income and underserved people and communities to enter the financial mainstream. Certified CDFIs are eligible to apply for awards through a variety of programs offered by the CDFI Fund. These awards enable CDFIs to finance a wide range of activities—including mortgage lending for first-time homebuyers, flexible underwriting for community facilities, and commercial loans for businesses in low-income areas. Through varying strategies, each CDFI contributes to the cultivation of a healthy and stable local economy.
