SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Pacific Community Credit Union has partnered with Member Business Services to provide business lending offerings to its members.

The new alliance will provide Pacific Community members with a "streamlined" loan approval process for their business line of credit, equipment, acquisition, real estate, and Small Business Administration loan needs, according to the CUSO.

"Small businesses are the backbone of the communities we serve," said Kevin Pendergraft, president/CEO of $180 million Pacific Community. "They supply approximately half of our country's current overall employment and provide at least two out of every three new jobs. Their focus on developing and contributing directly to the community in which they live is a standard Pacific Community feels should be emulated. That's why we have committed to provide these businesses expert financial support on a one-to-one, personal basis to help our communities grow and move forward."
