Welcome to the ShoreBank blog!
In case you don’t know about us, ShoreBank is a bank—but not your typical bank. We have spent decades supporting economic development and environmental sustainability, and we have done it profitably. We measure our results based on a triple-bottom-line approach (people, planet, and profits). Now, we’re creating a forum to discuss topics like our work, trends in the market, and ways that everyone can improve their finances while supporting the community. We want to hear from you!
Why should you read this blog? Fair question. Like you, we’re busy. We had to decide if it made sense to write a blog. But we really didn’t see anyone out there with our perspective. We have a 35-year history of leveraging banking tools to benefit local businesses, homeowners, and the environment. As the field of sustainable business keeps growing, we hope that our history and the work we continue to do will inspire others to bring even more innovation and success to these arenas – and keep us on our toes, as well!
As you read our blog, you will hear from a range of ShoreBank experts on topics like green building, home mortgages, and financing for nonprofits. We even have views on the Fed. In addition to big-picture information about finance, environment, and community, we will offer ideas about how to manage your personal finances.
We also offer a global perspective, because we’re not just a U.S.-based bank with over $2 billion in assets. Around the world, affiliated organizations in our holding company are active in areas like global microfinance, the environmental and economic challenges of rural areas, and finding innovative ways to meet the needs of those without access to traditional banking services.
We have numerous stories and ideas we would like to share—and we want to hear your views. Like many of you, we are working to create opportunities for ordinary people to better their own lives, strengthen their communities, and create a healthier environment.
So let’s get writing, and let’s get to work!
