Financing a More Resilient Future with City First Bank

At City First Bank and Broadway Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: BYFC), corporate responsibility is not a side initiative, it’s the foundation of our business model. As a Certified B Corporation, Public Benefit Corporation, and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), We are committed to expanding access to capital, supporting resilient communities, and fostering long-term economic growth. 

City First Bank is a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV), a network of banks committed to responsible finance. We invest in communities that have been historically overlooked—supporting local businesses, affordable housing, and community institutions that create lasting economic opportunity. Our approach centers on good governance, transparency, long-term relationships, and real-world impact. 

Our Commitments

Governance with Purpose: Our Board and leadership reflect the communities we serve, ensuring that our values are embedded in every decision. 

Mission Execution: Over 70% of our lending supports mission-driven lending in low- to moderate-income communities, with a focus on affordable housing, small businesses, and nonprofit institutions. 

Transparency: We assess our public benefit to low-income communities, maintain certifications and affiliations as a CDFI and certified B Corp, and report on our impact annually to our shareholders.
