Q&A WITH GENERAL MANAGER KYIN LOK
Advantages of Direct Lending 
In today's economic environment, safety and soundness of financial 
institutions continues to be a critical issue. According to Global 
Finance's annual ranking of the 50 Safest Banks in the World, 
U.S. Bancorp is among a handful of trusted institutions in the 
Unites States. Yet, when it comes to leasing, some businesses 
continue to deal directly with equipment vendors and independent
third party lessors. Find out more about the advantages of dealing 
directly with a bank in this article.
