Leaders shared why DLP Bank was acquired in 2022 and how it has since grown into a community banking platform closely aligned with DLP Capital’s mission to Dream, Live, and Prosper—while operating as a separate organization built to equip and empower families, businesses, and organizations.
A central focus of the conversation was DLP Bank’s expanding private banking platform, designed to give clients a single, responsive point of contact for coordinating banking, lending, and liquidity strategy with clarity and ease. Don emphasized that many investors and business owners lack true private banking support—and that DLP Bank was built to fill that gap with accessibility, responsiveness, and personal service.
The session addressed:
Private banking built around real cash flow needs - Understanding day-to-day liquidity, timing, and flexibility can materially impact families and businesses. The goal is to create breathing room, reduce friction, and help clients make confident financial decisions with support from a dedicated team.
Purpose driven banking—not a luxury product - Private banking was framed as a practical tool to serve clients as their financial lives evolve. The emphasis is on relationships, accessibility, and guidance tailored to individual goals—helping clients coordinate resources and feel supported across all aspects of their finances.
Growth that follows service - Rather than leading with metrics, the conversation presented growth as the outcome of discipline, strategy, aligned values, and a consistent people-first approach.
DLP Bank was created around real-life financial needs rather than traditional banking structures—removing unnecessary friction and meeting clients where they are. By supporting local businesses, families, and community organizations with intention and stewardship, DLP Bank positions itself as not just a financial institution—but as a long-term, community partner.
As the bank grows, the priority remains protecting culture, maintaining service standards, and challenging private community banking to work for real people.
