Provident Loan was authorized by the State Legislature on April 13, 1894, and opened its doors five weeks later. Then as now, new immigrants and those without the means to establish a traditional banking relationship had few options for obtaining short term credit; many fell victim to predatory loan sharks.


Provident Loan was authorized by the State Legislature on April 13, 1894, and opened its doors five weeks later. Then as now, new immigrants and those without the means to establish a traditional banking relationship had few options for obtaining short term credit; many fell victim to predatory loan sharks. The Society’s founders, many of them bankers, recognized that banks were not serving small businessmen and the working poor. Encouraged by the Charity Organization Society of the City of New York, and over the vigorous objections of pawnbrokers, they persuaded the legislature to grant them a charter.
