About Us
Olden Lane is a boutique financial services firm dedicated to the credit union industry. We strive to fill the gaps in capital market services where credit unions have traditionally been underserved and seek market opportunities where credit unions stand to benefit from the high-touch service of a team of expert technicians as opposed to generic, less personalized, and commoditized services. These opportunities generally involve areas where certain frictions have discouraged credit unions from fully utilizing available capital markets tools. Our current areas of focus include:
· Capital raising with subordinated debt;
· Advising on mergers and acquisitions;
· Alternative deposit gathering and savings products;
We engage with clients, as a multi-disciplinary team, to provide consultative advice and execution assistance. We pride ourselves on offering clients a panoramic perspective on complex matters, with sensitivity to the unique nature of credit unions, their stakeholders, and regulatory supervisors.
The Olden Lane Name
Our firm is named for the small street in Princeton, New Jersey which comprised the majority of Albert Einstein’s daily stroll from his home on Mercer Street to the Institute of Advanced Study, where he served as a faculty member. Professor Einstein pursued the goal of providing a framework for a unified understanding of the basic laws of the physical universe.
Inspired by Einstein's relentless curiosity and his dedication to inquiry, a group of seasoned Wall Street professionals founded Olden Lane to address the gaps in capital market services where credit unions had traditionally been underserved.
Our tight group is grounded in a culture of operational excellence and dedication to our credit union clients. We strive to make the Olden Lane name synonymous with solutions that are creative, elegant and simple. And we hope to bring just a bit of Professor Einstein’s enthusiasm to the work we do for our credit union clients.
