The Community Development Bankers Association (CDBA) is the national trade association of the community development bank sector. CDBA educates policy makers, regulators, and legislators on the importance of community development banks and thrifts with a mission of serving low- and moderate-income communities. Most CDBA member banks are certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), while many are also minority depository institutions (MDIs), and we represent a growing cadre of “aspiring” CDFIs and banks focused on environmental finance.
