“It’s rewarding to work with a company like Zuum that is making a difference for such a great stable of internationally recognized clients,” said Justin Vogel, senior vice president in Bridge Bank’s Capital Finance Group. “Bridge Bank appreciates the innovation Zuum brings to the logistics industry.”
Founded in 2016, Zuum’s clients include Tyson, Sherwin Williams and Staples.
