To spread awareness of the BankImpact Database’s variety of interactive search functions and ability to serve the needs of the development banking industry, NCIF worked with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to publish an article explaining as well as demonstrating the tool in ProfitWise News and Views. The article answers these questions and more: How can an investor – looking to invest in or place deposits in a bank in a particular community – best identify a bank that is focused on underserved populations and that also fits his interest in social and financial performance criteria? How can a bank CEO understand how her bank compares to peers in terms of social performance? How can regulators and public policymakers identify high-impact institutions that serve as anchors in underserved communities? Download the publication here.
