Although it is not a requirement that productions use a locally branched bank, there are several that have been used by projects. These include US Bank, Umpqua Bank and Key Bank.
Bank of the Pacific has contacted this office with a specific interest in helping productions with their banking needs. More specifically, productions can reach out to Chad Marting, VP, Relationship Manager, CMarting@BankofthePacific.com, 971 335-0629.
The Oregon tax incentive has also been loaned against on some projects. This is something that is very specific to the financing and financiers on each project. Three Point Capital, BondIt Media Capital and Magnetic Labs have a knowledge of the Oregon Tax Incentive process and have worked with several projects that have been produced in the state.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Executive Director Tim Williams with questions.
