Industrial Bank started its work with the justice system in 2016 when two bank employees were volunteers with a local non-profit servicing currently and formerly incarcerated individuals. The organization provided an eight-week program that included financial literacy to young men between the ages of 14 and 17 that were housed in the Baltimore City jail charged as adults.

In January 2018, the Bank partnered with the DC Department of Corrections providing financial empowerment sessions to over 80 incarcerated men and women. The first session began with groups in both medium and maximum-security levels and later included men ages 18 – 25 in a specialized group called Young Men Emerging (YME). Our financial empowerment program was not only well received by the residents of DC Jail and the YME group, but the surrounding community of non-profits dedicated to supporting returning citizens has also been extremely supportive of the Bank’s efforts.

Curriculum

  • Session 1 – Bank Overview, Program Structure and Banking Basics
  • Session 2 – The Importance of Saving and Budgeting
  • Session 3 – Understanding and Managing Credit
  • Session 4 – Effective Communication
  • Session 5 – Understanding Insurance and Investments
  • Session 6 – Entrepreneurship, Homeownership or Power of Attorney
  • Session 7 – Graduation Ceremony/Presentation of Certificates by Bank President/CEO

Impact

Industrial Bank has gleaned publicity nationwide for its innovative program, the impact and several new relationships have been established solely due to our programming within the jail. Over 20 former DC Jail residents that completed the program have since been released and have established their first ever banking relationship with Industrial Bank. The Bank has participated in supporting the returning citizens as they encounter freedom, in most cases for the first time in over two decades.

Since 2021, Industrial Bank has partnered with the South Carolina Department of Corrections to bring the same experience to incarcerated men virtually. We currently serve Lee Correctional Facility in Bishopville, SC and Tuberville Correctional Facility in Tuberville, SC.

As of 2024, over 150 justice exposed men and women have completed our financial literacy sessions.

  • We maintain relationships with several non-profits and government entities that serve the justice exposed and we offer a uniquely designed suite of products for these populations.
  • Industrial Bank is committed to serving as a recidivism interrupter and several bank employees have been certified as Re-entry Navigators, which will assist in coaching returning citizens towards a life of renewal, optimism, and service.
  • Industrial Bank offers a unique “Community Banking” relationship designed for the justice exposed. Our Community Relationship accepts non-traditional ID, prevents the accumulation of overdraft fees and waives certain monthly service charges. This relationship includes a Checking, Savings, Steady Saver Certificate of Deposit (CD), and Individual Retirement Account (IRA) which are all part of the suite of products to support the financial goals of those needing a new financial beginning.

Industrial has made a big difference in the African American community. So many people depend on it. I’m so proud of them and all they do.

They are very straightforward without the gimmicks and hidden fees. The Business/Non-profit account fees they do have are the lowest, especially in the DC Metro area. I love this bank and can't believe I had not tried them sooner.

So neat to just learn that this bank still exists and to know that it has existed for 80 years. I know that it was right down the street from me when I was a child now I am 61! :-)
