Climate First Bank has a new Pride Banking partner — The Center Orlando. For every new qualifying Pride Checking account opened, from January 1 to June 30, the bank will contribute donations to the charity, supporting its mission to empower the LGBTQ+ community.
What is a Pride Checking account?
A pride checking account has the following features:
- One $100 donation made by Climate First Bank directly to The Center Orlando for every qualifying account opened
- Account holders’ preferred name will be reflected on debit cards
- Accounts earn 0.10% interest with no minimum account balance and no monthly fee
“As a mission-driven bank devoted to doing what’s right for the planet and its people, we are proud to partner with The Center Orlando,” said Director of Client and Mission Partnerships at Climate First Bank Lauren Dubé. “With a major portion of LGBTQ+ people currently underserved by financial institutions, we strive to change that status quo and uplift them through this charitable partnership, our equitable services and much more.”
