Membership

Community Development Banks are integral parts of their communities. They provide access to capital and banking services in low and moderate income communities that are often left unserved or underserved by the traditional banking sector. Visit our members page to learn more about how our members make a difference in their communities.

Our Impact

Our institutions are more than just banks to the communities they serve; they are people that make loans that change their customer's lives. Whether its making loans to build a daycare facility, revitalize a community space or help a small business get on its feet, CDBA members have a proud history of strengthening their local communities through sound lending practices. Read the stories and hear the differences our banks make every day on our impact page.

Our Work

CDBA was formed in 2001 and currently represents approximately half of the community development banking industry. We advocate on behalf of the Community Development Banking industry and educate federal policy makers on the unique needs and uncommon circumstances under which CD banks operate. Read about our ongoing work and our strong record of success representing our industry at our advocacy page.
