Citizens Private Bank Enhances Capital Access for Private Equity and Venture Capital Professionals with New Liquidity Lines
PROVIDENCE, RI – (August 7, 2025) – Citizens Private Bank today announced the launch of Liquidity Lines of Credit, a tailored credit solution designed for private equity and venture capital partners and professionals. As the private markets continue to mature, with increasing sophistication in fund structures and personal capital planning, Citizens Private Bank is committed to delivering solutions that directly support the evolving needs of the industry.
In today's dynamic liquidity landscape, access to flexible capital is crucial. Liquidity Lines of Credit allows eligible private equity and venture capital professionals to borrow pledging their financial interests in mature funds managed by established PE and VC firms. The proceeds from this credit solution are available for general-purpose use, providing significant financial flexibility.
"Private equity and venture capital professionals are building long term value, but often with limited access to liquidity. Liquidity Lines of Credit is about turning complexity into opportunity to support the private capital community," said Scott Aleali, Head of Private Equity in New York at Citizens Private Bank. By enabling clients to unlock liquidity from their fund interests for a range of strategic personal and professional uses, we’re deepening our role as a strategic partner in their long-term financial success."
This offering, coming on the heels of Citizens for Startups, further underscores Citizens Private Bank's commitment to providing sophisticated solutions to the private markets and innovation economy. Liquidity Lines of Credit complements Citizens Private Bank's comprehensive suite of private banking capabilities, including home loan solutions, securities-backed lines of credit, GP co-invest financing, and other custom credit, wealth and investment management solutions in partnership with Citizens Private Wealth.
