There is an easy way to support your community – simply by opening a bank account. How does it work? When you deposit money into a bank, your deposit provides funding the bank can use to make loans to local businesses and individuals.
When you support a values-based institution, you can help make communities stronger. You can deposit money into a community development financial institution (CDFI) bank, a minority depository institution (MDI), a bank belonging to the National Bankers Association (NBA), or a bank belonging to the Community Development Bankers Association (CDBA).

This special program developed in cooperation with the CDBA and NBA, aims to bolster funding for community lending while offering depositors access multi-million-dollar aggregate FDIC insurance at network banks through a single bank relationship. Funds placed with a participating bank will be used to make loans to local businesses and individuals — helping to make communities stronger.
A list identifying IntraFi network banks can be found here. IntraFi is not an FDIC-insured bank, and deposit insurance covers the failure of an insured bank. Certain conditions must be satisfied for “pass-through” FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply.
