Fulton Bank, a $26 billion community bank, today announced it launched a new Diverse Business Banking initiative in the Baltimore market. The program increases the bank’s outreach to businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and LGBTQ+ individuals.
“This program builds on the work Fulton has long done as trusted advisors for our customers,” said Joel Barnett, director of commercial affinity banking. “We want to build and strengthen relationships with diverse business owners and provide the products and services they need to grow their businesses.”
Features of the Diverse Business Banking program include:
- Product and service packages designed for diverse businesses.
- A Special Purpose Credit Program that will be available to eligible businesses the bank cannot serve through traditional loan programs.
- Education and resources to help diverse businesses grow and develop.
- Outreach and collaboration with other community organizations that also support diverse businesses.
The program will not only involve business bankers but also small business development officers, financial center managers and others who work in this space.
Bankers in the program will complete training to earn a new Fulton credential as a Certified Diverse Business Advocate. These bankers can provide one-on-one mentorship, educational resources and custom solutions to diverse business owners.
“We are excited about the potential that this diverse business outreach program offers for our company, our business customers and our communities,” Barnett said.
