About Us

Empowering communities. Inspiring growth.

---

We believe that strong communities build strong futures. Our passion lies in helping neighborhoods across Alabama, Florida, and the Southeast grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

As a proud community development partner of United Bank, we focus on rural and economically challenged areas. Through creative partnerships and federal programs, we bring opportunity, funding, and hope to the people and places often overlooked by private investment.

Building partnerships that make a difference

Lasting progress happens when we work together. We partner with local organizations, institutions, and federal programs to attract private investment into communities, businesses, and municipalities that need it most.

Every collaboration helps economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen local infrastructure to build momentum for a more inclusive future.

Certified to Serve: Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI)

As a federally certified CDFI, UBCD channels millions in federal dollars and tax credits directly into our communities. These funds have helped:

• Build and expand small businesses
• Develop affordable housing
• Improve infrastructure and public services
• Provide capital that fuels growth for nonprofits and entrepreneurs

We turn financial resources into real, visible change, empowering people and businesses to succeed.
