Redemption Bank is led by former White House Policy Advisor and Small Business Administration Regional Administrator, Ashley D. Bell, with early-stage support by Dr. Bernice A. King– the daughter of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
Redemption Bank is a Black-owned holding company that is currently acquiring a non-Minority Depository Institution in the Rockies Region in order to expand access to capital for people of color. Once it receives regulatory approval and the acquisition is completed, Redemption Bank is expected to become the only Black-Owned MDI headquartered west of Texas. Redemption Bank is located in business-friendly Holladay, Utah (Salt Lake City Area).
Redemption Bank is launching a fully tech-enabled, concierge platform in partnership with other MDIs and a major mortgage lending platform.
Redemption Bank aims to leverage technology to create a full-service banking platform for its customers, offering a full range of banking services for relationship-oriented consumers and business owners.
Join the movement to strengthen MDIs, expand access, and build stronger communities across the country.
