ISLANDIA, N.Y., Nov. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Coast Bank today announced that it plans to extend upwards of $1M in Sandy Relief Loans to Long Island businesses affected by recent Hurricane Sandy. Founded by local business owners, Gold Coast Bank is uniquely positioned to help others in need.

Upon viewing the devastation on both the north and south shores across Long Island, Gold Coast Bank board members brainstormed ways they could help. "We just knew that we had to help businesses get back up and running. Local restaurants, including many that have been mainstays in our communities, have to rebuild their entire facility- and they need to keep their staff employed in the process. Without additional cash flow this could be catastrophic for many," board member and J. Kings Chief Customer Officer John King said.

"Companies that need immediate financial help should call us about our Sandy Relief Loans," stated Joe Perri, President and CEO of Gold Coast Bank. "We are offering a quick turnaround for all those who qualify and we have made the whole process simpler so that the owner can go back to focusing on the recovery of their business. We'll even go to them if that makes it easier."
