Bank of Clarke Enters Equipment Financing Market with Clarke Leasing

The initiative covers a broad spectrum of assets, ranging from energy systems and manufacturing hardware to transportation fleets and construction machinery. By providing 100% financing that includes delivery and installation costs, the bank aims to help companies mitigate the risks of equipment obsolescence while maintaining predictable payment schedules. This service, operated in association with the Elex Group, allows firms to upgrade technology as their operational requirements shift.

Brandon Lorey, President and CEO of Bank of Clarke, noted that the expansion is part of a broader push to provide growth-oriented financial tools. According to Dan Hampton, who leads the project and heads Government Contractor Banking, the program is designed for companies that need to act quickly on capital investments. By separating equipment funding from traditional credit lines, the bank offers a pathway for businesses to scale their infrastructure while preserving the liquidity necessary for day-to-day operations.
