Cross River Bank, a Fintech first financial services firm, has distributed a recap of progress made during the past year.
Cross River’s Founder, President and CEO Gilles Gade, says that 2025 was a defining year as everything changed with the confluence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the rise of digital assets.
Key highlights shared by Cross River include the topping of 1 billion in payment transactions. The Bank shared that it:
- Facilitated nearly $1.5 billion in loans through our Commercial Banking Group and announced our inaugural $288MM CMBS transaction.
- Expanded margin and balance sheet velocity by over 50% YoY through our Principal Finance Group and achieved over 30% YoY growth in marketplace lending.
- Strengthened fair lending oversight and delivered High-Performance Core Balance Decisioning
- Deepened our community impact through initiatives that supported aid during times of crisis throughout the United States and Israel.
Cross River said the road ahead was “bright” but “demanding,” as it anticipates a transformative year as it grows its platform.
“The future of finance is unfolding right in front of us. We are armed with our values of humility, integrity, creativity, responsibility and compassion, so we may continue to challenge the status quo, act boldly and innovate—as long as it is what is best for humanity.”
