CDR – Mission Valley Bank

Community Development and Reinvestment

We believe that everyone deserves access to financial education, regardless of background or income level. For over 20 years, Mission Valley Bank’s dedicated team have been committed to ensuring everyone can achieve financial stability and independence.

Through our community outreach programs, we offer financial literacy support for various non-profit organizations and businesses, covering topics such as budgeting, saving, and business management.

Access to capital is often the turning point between an idea and a growing business. Our CDFI Advocacy Statement includes: ‘small business deserves the chance to find success,’ and sometimes that means looking beyond a traditional loan. Through our partnerships with Community Development Financial Institutions – TMC Community Capital | Pacific Community Fund | AltCap – we help connect clients with the resources they need when the conventional path is not the right fit.
