Princeton Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPRN) is a New Jersey-based bank holding company that operates The Bank of Princeton, a community bank serving customers across central New Jersey. The company earns revenue primarily through net interest income, the spread between interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings, supplemented by non-interest income from fees, service charges, loan fees including prepayment penalties, and income from bank-owned life insurance.
