Season 3: Serving Customers

Banking on Hope

Guardian Bank

How does the gospel change a bank’s view of people and how they should be treated, especially those of modest means?
Banks are largely impersonal, making it easy to get loans and good service if you are wealthy and quite difficult if you aren’t. The whole system is set up to avoid risk, tying creditworthiness more to capital than character. Inspired by faith that sees the infinite worth of each person, Guardian Bank takes a different, more humane and hopeful view that also provides hope for everyday households and commercial customers.
