City National Bank

City National Bank is a minority-owned and managed bank focused on building economic strength and improving the quality of life within the communities it serves. Catalyzed in 1971 when a group of African-American community leaders recognized the need for a Newark-based financial institution to serve people whose access to credit and banking services was historically limited, it now has around $2.9 million in assets.  Established to bolster economically challenged communities, its City National Urban Fund (CNUF) provides financial support to socially conscious projects that strengthen urban areas in New Jersey and New York.
