More Than A Bank

First Women’s Bank will be more than a commercial bank: It will be a first-of-its-kind platform designed to connect small businesses with innovative capital solutions, provide individuals and corporations with opportunities to promote gender equality, and build a community that fosters strategic partnerships and inclusion. 

We’re on a mission to grow the small business economy and advance the role of women within it.

It’s In Our DNA

First Women’s Bank is uniquely positioned to serve this large, powerful and growing market. Our clients will be entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders – moms, daughters and caregivers. So are we. 

While we have a strategic focus on the women’s economy, we will compete across traditional banking verticals to serve all banking customers. First Women’s Bank will serve a national deposit and lending market from one flagship location in Chicago.

Innovative capital solutions, including lending tools like SBA 

Advanced digital banking tools that meet the demands of your lifestyle 

A community built through programs that connect small business owners to networks of opportunity 

A platform for organizations and individuals to demonstrate a commitment to gender equality

Our women-led leadership team and diverse board of directors have deep ties to the local community and significant banking, investment and small business experience across multiple industry verticals. This gives us a unique lens through which to support the small business economy and advance the role of women within it. Our platform will provide organizations and individuals with the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to gender equality.
