Initiative designed to meet the unique needs of minority, women, veteran and LGBTQ business owners

Fulton Bank, a subsidiary of Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT), has launched a Diverse Business Banking program designed to meet the unique needs of minority, women, veteran and LGBTQ business owners.

“This program advances our purpose to change lives for the better,” said Fulton Financial Chairman, President and CEO Curtis J. Myers. “We are committed to making financing and banking products more accessible to groups that, historically, have been underserved.”

The cornerstone of the program is Fulton Bank’s Diverse Business Advocates, bankers who have earned a special certification and can provide one-on-one mentorship, educational resources, and custom solutions to meet the needs of diverse business owners.

Products and services available through the program include:

• Flexible approval criteria for loans and lines of credit
• Business banking product bundles
• SBA (Small Business Administration) products
• Merchant services
• Payroll and cash management services 

“We’re building on the work Fulton Bank has long done as a trusted advisor for our customers,” said Joel Barnett, Director of Commercial Affinity Banking. “In addition to serving diverse businesses, we want to strengthen relationships with community organizations so we can connect diverse businesses with the network and resources they need to succeed.”

More information – including links to educational resources and networking opportunities – is available on Fulton Bank’s Diverse Business Banking website.
