Is your bank a US Treasury Certified
Community Development
Financial Institution (CDFI)?
Since 1994 the United States Treasury has certified a singular number of banks as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) based on their use of deposits to provide low- and moderate-income communities the credit they need. If your bank is a designated CDFI, you can be certain that your money is being lent to the communities that need capital the most. Find a CDFI bank in your community at: https://ofn.org/cdfi-locator.
Spring Bank was designated a CDFI in 2014 and has received numerous awards and recognition from the CDFI fund.
