Our Why
We set the standard for values-based banking. At CityFirst, we are a mission-driven team established to close the wealth gap, achieve racial equity and provide relief for historically disinvested minority-majority urban communities.

We imagine and work for a society in which every individual, family and community has access to the resources that allow them to improve their wellbeing and prosper. Recently, our friends at the B Lab recognized us as "Best in the World for Customers" for our community development, we earned an "Outstanding" rating from the CRA, and we've kept our focus as a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values!

We are a commercial bank that lends intentional and disciplined capital for affordable multifamily housing, community-serving nonprofits, and small businesses in our low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. Our impact preserves and creates thousands of homes, jobs, and opportunities to participate in community growth. Our daily efforts contribute to our designation as the largest and the first Black-led MDI, CDFI, BCorp to reach more than $1B in assets.
