A name with a story.
Curiosity, rigor, and an abiding commitment to the credit union movement — the ideas that shape how we work, and the street corner that gave us our name.
Named for a quiet Princeton street.
Olden Lane 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.
We believe that credit unions are different.
The quality of their mission, the values of key stakeholders, and the nature of their regulatory supervision vary from other financial institutions. Therefore, capital markets solutions should be carefully integrated to optimize outcomes and tailored to the unique needs of each credit union.
In an ever-dynamic market environment, we work every day to ensure that our team's breadth, depth, and expertise are a real boon to our clients.
