“Establishing a banking relationship and setting financial goals are critical steps toward financial well-being. A basic insured account gives households the ability to safely deposit income, make payments toward monthly obligations and is convenient. When delivered with attention to the needs of consumers, particularly those new to the banking system, this bundle of services and products available through Bank on Denver and the Denver Financial Empowerment Center can help families manage their finances and effectively plan their financial future.”
-Gina Vincent, Community Affairs Specialist, FDIC

“As a banker, I know that I can’t always change the amount in someone’s bank account. But, I can change what’s in their “emotional account” by making sure I understand their needs and financial goals to ensure I provide them with the best information and products that work for them. Bank on Denver does not only help people find a bank account. We strive to develop long-term relationships with customers to help empower them to make the best financial decisions that they can for their family.”
