Our Mission
Bank On partners with Banks and Credit Unions to provide banking options and educational resources that help empower people and families to improve their financial capability, health and independence.
It is important that residents have access to resources that help lay a solid foundation for banking and financial empowerment. Our coalition is particularly focused on unbanked and underbanked populations and populations needing second chance banking options.
Our History
Started in 2017, Bank On Rubber City helps connect consumers to safe and affordable banking products certified as meeting the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund’s Bank On National Account Standards. As part of United Way of Summit County’s Bold Goal of financially empowering 11,000 residents by 2020, Bank On Rubber City is an integral piece of achieving the goal of financial empowerment.
THE BANK ON MOVEMENT
Bank On Rubber City is proud to be part of the national Bank On movement, made up of over 75 similar local coalitions across the country.
The nonprofit Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE Fund) is the national partner for local Bank On coalitions, supporting local efforts through resources like the Bank On National Account Standards and accompanying certification, grant support to build local coalition capacity, and a robust learning community. The CFE Fund also works to give voice to local coalition experiences by informing both federal regulatory policy and financial institution practices.
