Please Help Us Give Back to Our Community!
Primary Funding always likes to find ways to give back to our community. Whether it be through financial donations, volunteering, or nonprofit partnerships, we believe community involvement is important, and we enjoy doing it!
Mark your calendars. On Wednesday, January 19, 2022, we are sponsoring a blood drive with the San Diego Blood Bank. A single donation can save three lives. One blood donation provides different blood components that can help up to three different people. Blood cannot be manufactured. Despite medical and technological advances, blood cannot be made, so donations are the only way we can give blood to those who need it.
The blood drive will take place at our office located at 2173 Salk Avenue, Carlsbad, 92008, between the hours of 10:00am and 3:00pm

What's the Client Experience Working with Primary Funding?
In last month’s Client Corner we talked about Primary Funding’s typical Client Profile and the various industries we commonly serve. This month we thought it would be a good idea to share about the client experience and shed some light on what it’s like to work with us here at Primary Funding.
When you become a Primary Funding client, you will notice that cultivating strong relationships with our clients is a top priority. We take our customer service seriously around here. That’s why we assign all of our clients with a designated Account Manager. We think it’s important for you to have a reliable, responsive, main point of contact. Somebody who’s just a phone call or email away, ready to assist you, if and when the need arises.
Account Executive, Chris Ramos, is one such main point of contact. Chris works on the front lines every day, helping clients with their day-to-day questions and concerns. When asked to describe Primary Funding’s style and approach Chris said, “We give a personalized level of service to each and every client because we genuinely care about our clients and their businesses.”
Q & A with Fernando Ponce, Primary Funding's Regional Business Development Officer
Hi Fernando, Thanks for joining us. So, tell us about yourself. Where are you form originally? Where did you go to college?
I was actually born in Los Angeles, but my parents moved down to San Diego right after I was born. I’ve been married to Cynthia for the past 19 years. We have two daughters Luna (16) and Belen (12). No college, just a couple of semesters at Southwestern College.
Tell us about your professional background. How did you end up joining the team at Primary Funding?
I started my banking career as a Personal Banker for Washington Mutual in 2007. WAMU was acquired by Chase in 2008. Within a year of the acquisition, I moved into Business Banking and never looked back. I ended my tenure at Chase in 2017 and have been with Primary Funding ever since.
What does your job entail? Is there anything you’d like people to know about your approach to business?
My take on Business Development is simply to build relationships. My approach is to get to know people and their businesses. Once I understand the need we take a cooperative approach towards putting the most appropriate financing vehicle in place.
