Amalgamated Bank

At Amalgamated Bank, we are proud to be America's socially responsible bank, a title we have carried for over a century. Founded in 1923 by labor organizer Sidney Hillman and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that access to quality banking services should be available to all, regardless of their socioeconomic status. We pioneered various programs and financial products over the decades, such as offering the first unsecured personal loans and free checking accounts for the hardworking families of New York. This commitment to social justice continues to drive us today as we support countless individuals, organizations, and businesses dedicated to improving the world.

Our bank operates on the premise that where you bank matters. We focus on sustainable practices that align with our customers’ values, investing in projects that promote environmental sustainability and social equity. With over 1,000 unions and more than 500 progressive political organizations as clients, we strive to cultivate relationships that matter, providing exceptional financial services that help our clients achieve their goals while positively impacting their communities. We believe that your money should work toward good, and every dollar deposited at Amalgamated Bank supports progressive causes and sustainable practices.
