History
In late 2009, real estate developer and entrepreneur Steven Schnall bought Golden First Bank, a small, troubled bank in Great Neck, New York with $24 million in assets. Terms of the sale allowed Schnall to buy the bank with a clean balance sheet. Schnall assembled a new team, injected fresh capital and renamed it "Quontic Bank." In March 2011, Quontic Bank opened a second branch in the Astoria, Queens neighborhood of New York City Later in 2011, it shuttered the Great Neck location and officially moved its headquarters to Astoria. Quontic Bank continues to operate a four-story headquarters and bank branch in Astoria. As of November 2017, it has brick-and-mortar locations in six states, including Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia.
