HABNET, fosters higher business standards and encourages trade between Haitian diaspora communities and countries around the world and will use Santander's $2,000 gift to support the growth of Caribbean-American businesses in New York City.
Leon-Cruz added, "Whether it's advocating for housing, health care or education for low-income individuals or promoting entrepreneurship and civic engagement in underserved, immigrant communities, Brooklyn A and Haitian-American Business Network share our commitment to improving the quality of life for Brooklyn residents."
Santander's new Brooklyn branches feature a modern interior design aimed at improving the customer experience with an open layout and comfortable meeting "nooks" with sliding glass doors where customers can meet privately with our bankers to discuss their financial needs. The branches also have a "help bar" that provides a casual gathering area for waiting and quick conversations. A 24-hour zone with deposit-taking ATMs is also available at both branches for customer use after bank hours.
The branch managers and their teams are available Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to assist existing customers as well as those who would like to learn more about Santander's products and services.
