Introducing Create!

It is with great pride and purpose that we introduce you to create! by Fieldpoint Private.

create! is an initiative to deliver banking products and services customized for the unique needs of creators living and working in the communities served by Fieldpoint Private. Its mission is to help entrepreneurs turn creative spark into finished work, and ultimately into economic reward and growing prosperity for those around them.
With roots in the New York metro area and Atlanta – essential pivot points of American innovation in film, music, design, the fine arts, technology, advertising, architecture and more – we believe it is natural and appropriate that we undertake this initiative.

What is a Creator?

A creator is a person or entity that takes an idea from nothingness into existence. For our purposes we see the creator as an entrepreneur building a business in a field whose essence is bringing ideas to life, in areas such as film, broadcast, music, arts, digital production, fashion, esports/sports and game development, design, advertising, public relations and branding, among others.

Their livelihoods are as diverse as their talents, yet one common challenge unites them. For many if not most, especially those just establishing themselves, they walk a tough road. Resources are hard to come by. Lifestyle – and indeed personal life – suffer. Yet, whether by natural ability, hard-earned expertise and virtuosity, or simply the confidence that rightly comes from having a little something extra, creators are compelled to create.

Creators are found everywhere. But just as no creator can succeed while trying to be all things to all people, create! by Fieldpoint Private cannot succeed by being all things to all people in all places. For this reason we are focusing the create! initiative in creative centers that align with two of our banking hubs – New York City and adjoining southern Connecticut, and
Atlanta.

That said, we would like nothing more than to see our fellow banks take up the cause where they operate. The greatest success of this initiative will come if it catches on amongst banks across the country’s creative centers.

What Makes create! Create?

While Fieldpoint Private is proud to have long been engaged with creator clients who have already achieved a great measure of success, create! by Fieldpoint Private exists specifically for those on the way up, whose means and resources are not typically attractive to banks.

What do we offer? Well naturally our palette and brushes are those of a bank. So to meet its mission, create! will offer personal and commercial banking and lending services customized for the needs of creators. This may mean an aspiring film production entrepreneur in need of capital but with an income history that is patchier than the typical steady W2. Or an interior designer who needs a little extra help financing a home that they intend to become their greatest canvas. Or a software engineer with a big idea, but not yet a big balance sheet.

After the initial year of operation, create! will redirect a portion of its profits to –

• provide financial support and resources directly to creators with financial hardships
• those who need help with basic needs or to support early-stage businesses, to help them prosper and grow.
• support and distribute financial aid benefiting organizations working to provide homes and resources to all members of the communities where creators create.

If you are a creator in New York City or Fairfield County Connecticut, or Fulton County, Georgia, simply DM Sameer Navi through LinkedIn, visit our website at https://www.fieldpointprivate.com/create/ or email us at create@fieldpointprivate.com.

We’d love to learn what you are creating and work together to find out how we can help.

About Fieldpoint Private

Fieldpoint Private is a boutique private banking firm established at the onset of the financial crisis by 31 individuals including former Chairmen and CEOs of some of the most well-known and successful financial and consumer firms in America. Their intent was not to craft a firm that would emulate the large, established institutions, but to serve as an alternative. Dedicated to meeting the comprehensive financial needs of highly successful individuals, families, businesses and institutions, Fieldpoint Private offers a powerful combination of private personal and commercial banking services directly and in partnership with our clients’ most trusted advisors. In 2021, Fieldpoint Private founded Fieldpoint Private Trust, increasing the breadth of capabilities available to serve our clients in both sole trustee and co-trustee capacity.
