Western Alliance Bank announced on February 9, 2026 that it will provide a $50 million warehouse funding facility to Peachtree Group’s Equipment Finance division.
The facility is intended to support the origination and acquisition of equipment‑finance loans across a range of industries, allowing Peachtree to expand its lending capacity nationwide. Peachtree launched its Equipment Finance division in October 2025 and closed approximately $30 million in equipment‑finance transactions during the fourth quarter of 2025, demonstrating early traction.
Western Alliance’s commitment reflects its “bank for all seasons” strategy, which emphasizes low‑cost deposits and specialized lending channels to generate fee income and diversify its loan portfolio. The bank’s Q4 2025 earnings—net income of $293.2 million and EPS of $2.59—beat analyst expectations, underscoring the financial strength that supports new partnership initiatives.
Roger Johnson, Executive Vice President and Principal of Equipment Finance at Peachtree Group, said the facility “provides scalable capital to support momentum in our Equipment Finance platform. Western Alliance Bank remains a strong, reliable partner, reflecting our commitment to disciplined growth and long‑term partnership.” James Petty, Managing Director of Commercial Banking for the Southeast U.S. region at Western Alliance, added that the bank is “pleased to continue helping Peachtree achieve its business goals with this new debt facility” and that it “welcomes opportunities to expand our support for strong businesses like Peachtree throughout the southeastern United States.”
The partnership positions Peachtree to deepen its market presence in the competitive equipment‑leasing sector, where traditional banks are reducing exposure to middle‑market borrowers. By providing flexible capital to a niche platform, Western Alliance strengthens its national footprint and reinforces its diversified business model.
The $50 million facility is part of a broader trend in which banks are partnering with specialized lenders to fill financing gaps left by conventional institutions, offering a strategic advantage to both parties as they navigate evolving market dynamics.
