HOW WE GOT OUR FUNKY NAME

BANKERS + LEASING + COMPANY

BANLEACO

Our History

In 1946, Low Cost Transportation Company, which would eventually become Banleaco, was formed. The company focused on financing products in the automotive industry. In 1961, the company moved into the equipment financing marketplace under the name Bankers Car Sales Company. In 1971, the name was changed to Bankers Leasing Company and in 2017 we became Banleaco.

Over the years we have financed thousands of items including medical equipment, pharmacy equipment, lighting solutions, software and office equipment.

Banleaco offers business owners as well as vendors and their customers the flexibility and exceptional service they won’t find anywhere else. Banleaco has supported equipment financing and leasing needs for more than 75 years. In that time, we have not traded our exceptional personal service for size or profit margins. We work with a client base that consists of thousands of companies in numerous industries nationwide. We are dedicated to personal service and flexible equipment financing options.

The foundations and aspirations of our business remain true to those established by our visionary founders and their financial insight continues to be our inspiration. Our passion and culture ensure that we deliver for our customers– today and in the future.
