Bankwell Bank

Bankwell Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in New Canaan, CT, offering businesses a broad range of financing options: lines of credit, term loans, equipment finance, construction finance, and commercial real estate financing. Beyond the core lineup, the bank has developed distinct specialties in SBA lending, healthcare lending, and insurance agency lending — making it a strong consideration if your business falls into one of those verticals. Bankwell has also piloted generative AI in its small business lending process, signaling a focus on faster, more efficient underwriting.
