Bet Tzedek

It’s very important to have a stable bank we can rely on to think through complicated decisions — and to do so in true partnership. We get that, and more, with 1st Century Bank.

At Bet Tzedek, we work to fill the justice gap by providing legal services to people who face economic inequity. Our services and programs provide hope and stability to populations that have very little of either — and we do all of it free of charge. All of our funding comes from donations, grants and the government. Which is why we need the responsiveness and peace of mind we get from working with 1st Century Bank.

We can reach out to Bonnie Rubin, our Relationship Manager, and get our questions answered quickly. Whether it’s Bonnie or one of her colleagues, we know we have someone at 1st Century who has our back and can be a trusted advisor. That’s critical to our future because we are at a point where we need to build a plan that allows us to grow in a strategic way.

We have to make sure every dollar gets stretched as far as possible. 1st Century Bank helps us do that.
