Craft Bank

At Craft Bank, we’re deeply connected to our community and thrilled to announce a new partnership with Martha Stilwell School of the Arts, a school recognized nationwide for its talented students in visual arts, drama, dance, and music. This collaboration not only brings vibrancy and creativity to our space but also provides an invaluable learning experience for the young artists involved. This week we welcomed juniors and seniors from Stilwell to the Craft Bank office to learn more about the bank and scout our office space as they brainstorm unique artwork to adorn our walls at 1575 Northside Dr NW. ??Stay tuned for more on this exciting collaboration!

Craft President and CEO Ross Mynatt recently joined the Tearsheet Podcast to discuss his journey as a first-time CEO and the strategies behind Craft Bank’s $250 million asset growth at a time when most smaller institutions were struggling just to stay afloat. ???Throughout the talk, it becomes evident that although?92%?of banks aim to maintain or elevate their technology spending in 2024, community banks and large financial institutions take markedly different approaches when it comes to investing, forming partnerships, and selecting technology providers. Ross also discusses whether community banks could potentially leverage technology more effectively than their larger peers. ??Tune in to learn more about Craft Bank – our origin and our tech evolution.?

On Wednesdays, we wear pink! When team members Shelly and Jodi coincidentally both work pink on a random Wednesday, they joked it was their "Mean Girls moment." Craft CEO Ross wanted "in" on the pop culture phenomenon, so the following week, both Nikki and Ross joined the rose-colored fun. But in a twist, Shelly and Jodi--Craft's original pink ladies--forgot their pink garb (and they didn't live it down!) Since then, a playful Craft tradition has been born, and the growing crew of pink-wearers has grown. Today, Craft's Mean Girls crew brought the movie to life with posters and the majority of the office wore pink. Turns out, Craft is FABULOUS in all shades of pink!
