“This rating reflects our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve,” said Paul McCarthy, Chairman at Marquette Bank. “Marquette Bank is committed to affordable access to financial services, community development and lending in our neighborhoods.”
The CRA is a federal law that requires banks to meet the credit needs of the communities they serve, especially low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

Marquette Bank has received the highest rating since 2000 making them a leader in community revitalization and placing them among the top

Factors contributing to Marquette Bank’s success include: high employee engagement and volunteerism; strong partnerships with local nonprofits and community groups; a focus on affordable housing; its financial education and inclusion efforts; a history of robust community outreach; and balancing financial innovation with friendly, personal service.

Many of the families who bank here have banked with us for generations.”
