Supporting Women in Business

How we support women-owned businesses

Recent studies show that women-owned businesses are the fastest growing business segment in our country*. Yet, we hear that many women feel underserved by their financial institutions.

We're inspired by the women following their dreams and leading our communities.

Guided by a promise to help our clients and communities grow and thrive, our visionary founders understood the need for a strong community partner. A partner that could provide resources to their community through people, money, expertise and banking relationships to make our communities better.
