Paycheck Protection Program Testimonials
Quality Relationships During Challenging Times
Many of our Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) clients have now moved their accounts to us, inspired by the speed and efficiency of our service during an uncertain and trying time. They saw that the way we quickly communicate with them about their PPP loans was emblematic of how we do business. Now they’re beginning a long term relationship with a local bank they can rely on to move quickly and keep the lines of communication open.
Local business owners who secured Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans with us share their success stories.
"I wish to thank our bankers for their tenacious effort in assisting us with our business. I know we were not the only client the team had on your plates during this challenging time, but they made it seem like we were."
Ron Ewaniszyk
Controller, Manco Structures, Ltd.
"The Bank of San Antonio was a solid partner during the pandemic. My banker deserves a lot of credit for how quickly she was able to answer questions about the PPP loans. It’s a tremendous comfort to know that we have a bank we can count on."
Sandy Merrill
CEO, GDMI, Guide Dogs of Texas, Inc.
"We connected with The Bank of San Antonio, and in true community bank fashion, we had an amazing customer experience. We were consistently kept up to date on our loan process, and our banker made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you to the team for demonstrating the spirit of community banking at its finest."
Sandra Fechner
Vice-President, HIS BridgeBuilders-San Antonio
"Our relationship with the bank has proven to be invaluable. I was able to get much needed guidance from my banker, and they were most helpful during the application process. I have felt very supported during this process and I know during the forgiveness application process, I will be able to rely on them."

CEO, Alpha Home
"I found out my PPP loan was approved and I got a little emotional when I saw the money hit the bank. Saying “thank you” doesn’t do justice to the gratitude I feel. I know everyone has bent over backward for us. I’m sorry I didn’t move my banking sooner, but I will never forget this. This is the runway we needed while we pivot our business."
Tom McDonald
President, Business and Professional Service
"It’s rare to find people in the banking industry that have the level of integrity and care for the customers that The Bank of San Antonio has. Sincerity can not be faked. We need to stick with places like The Bank of San Antonio who will work with you, so that together we can raise our community."
Tiffany Jones-Smith
CEO, The State of Texas Kidney Foundation
"Our banker was immediately responsive and helped us get funding right away. We recently moved all our accounts to The Bank of San Antonio, and it’s a relief to have done so. From the tellers to upper-level managers, the folks at the bank are a pleasure to work with. They are problem solvers. To business owners who are looking to be supported by a strong banking relationship, we recommend that you talk to the folks at The Bank of San Antonio."

Principal, Founding Partner, Barker Structural
"The hardest thing for a business owner to be told is to stay home and stop running your life’s work. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for the team at The Bank of San Antonio for being my advocate in fighting to help save my business. You have earned my respect and devotion and I look forward to working with my new friends."
