Company Overview
In 1948, Carver Federal Savings Bank was founded in New York City to serve African- and Caribbean-American communities that had been excluded from mainstream financial services. More than 65 years later, we remain dedicated to community development and financial inclusion. We are publicly traded and among the largest African-American-managed banks in the country. Based in Harlem, we primarily serve low- to moderate-income communities in the New York City metro area. We reinvest more than 80% of our deposit base back into the communities we serve. As we look to the future, Carver seeks to grow and become a premier financial institution, fueled by exceptional products, services, technology, and customer experience. That is where you come in.
