Join us for our September Signature Lunch as we welcome Emily Mattes and Gabe Beukinga of First Women's Bank!

Women-owned businesses are growing two times faster than the national average.
Women-owned businesses account for 42% of all U.S. businesses.
Women of color make up 50% of the women-owned businesses in the U.S.
Yet women-owned businesses receive just 16% of available conventional business loans.

First Women's Bank is a first-of-its-kind, purpose-driven bank with a mission to grow the economy and advance the role of women within it. First Women's Bank is the only women-founded, women-owned, and women-led commercial bank in the country with a strategic focus on serving the women's economy.

First Women's Bank is on a mission to grow the economy while elevating the roles women play in that economy. They aim to:

  • Connect clients and their businesses to innovative capital solutions
  • Promote gender equality through mission deposits
  • Build a community of resources, support, and inspiration for clients

Some of the mission partners at First Women's Bank include: Aon, Wendy's, Comcast, Microsoft, United Airlines, William Blair, and the Western Golf Association.
