State Street Announces Next Round of Deposits to Minority Depository Institutions and Community Development Financial Institutions

  • Support of MDIs and CDFIs is part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to encourage economic growth directly through its business practices

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced that it has made deposits with three mission-driven minority depository institutions (MDIs) including Carver State Bank, Citizens Trust Bank and Ponce Bank.

The deposits are part of the firm’s $100 million program to provide low-cost, stable deposit funding to minority depository institutions (MDIs)1 and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs)2 that launched earlier this year.

“Our partnership strategy with MDI/CDFIs is designed to help foster economic empowerment in the communities being served by contributing to efforts that create more capacity across our partners’ service model,” said Yvette Hollingsworth Clark, chief compliance officer for State Street. “We are honored to be working with each of our partners to help unlock opportunities for those who have been historically underserved and help expand a more inclusive and equitable financial ecosystem.”

This program continues to further build upon State Street’s actions to advance racial equity. In 2020, State Street announced its 10 Actions to Address Racism and Inequality, a 10-point action plan with the ultimate goal of helping to end systemic racism in our communities. Additionally the firm became the first Global Systemically Important Financial Institution (GSIFI) to achieve the Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) Black Equity at Work Bronze Certification, a designation for employers who have demonstrated a commitment to a systematic, results-oriented approach to Black equity in the workplace. Earlier this year, the firm also announced that it has earned both Hispanic Equity at Work Bronze Certification and the renewal of its Black Equity at Work Bronze Certification.

“State Street Bank’s deposit commitment will have a meaningful long-term impact in the underserved communities where our bank does business,” said Robert E. James, II, President and CEO of Carver State Bank. “The State Street team understands and supports Carver’s mission to reduce the wealth gap by providing the building blocks to financial freedom.”

"In a rapidly changing and interconnected world, forming and nurturing partnerships is crucial. We appreciate State Street Bank's partnership with Citizens Trust Bank in providing financial access to all communities,” said Cynthia N. Day, President and CEO of Citizens Trust Bank. “The alignment of mission enhances our impact in providing access to capital for small businesses, supporting homeownership, and addressing disparities in our financial ecosystem. We are proud to be part of this partnership and thank State Street Bank for their commitment to our mission."

“Deposits from forward looking institutions like State Street help us bring financial equity to the underserved but highly deserving communities in and around New York City that we’ve been so proud to support for over 60 years,” said Carlos P. Naudon, President and CEO of Ponce Bank.
