Already believe in what B Corps stand for? You’re one of us.

We’re a community bank and a proud Benefit Corporation for Good (BCFG), using finance as a force for good in the communities we serve. A BCFG is a for-profit business that commits to balancing purpose and profit by creating positive social and environmental impact, much like a B Corp. An Oregon BCFG considers its impact and effects on society and the environment in the business decision-making process.

We’re a certified Benefit Corporation for Good. That means our commitment to people, planet, and profit is built into our business strategy—so banking with us supports your impact metrics today and aligns with evolving third-party standards, including new B Corp requirements.
