Why Become A Financial Partner

Our goal is to bring 10,000 unbanked households in Manhattan into the financial mainstream by helping them to open low-cost checking accounts. To accomplish this goal, we turned to financial institutions in the City to demonstrate leadership and to help remove the barriers that low-income families face in opening a bank account.

Financial institutions that join Bank On Manhattan can expand marketing in targeted, low-income neighborhoods and increase the visibility of appropriate products in Manhattan. By working with not-for-profit organizations in Manhattan, financial partners have been able to identify customers and develop new strategies to reach unbanked customers. Staff members offering financial training courses have made real connections in the community.

As a Financial Partner, you can:

• Help bank the unbanked by offering the Bank On Manhattan product at your Manhattan locations.
• Participate in Bank On Manhattan outreach events.
• Partner with a community organization of your choice.
• Include Bank On Manhattan information in your mailings and newsletters.
• Display posters and other materials in your branches.
• Place a link on your website to www.bankonmanhattan.com.
