Keith Mestrich, CEO of Amalgamated Bank, talks about The Progressive Bank for Progressive People

Keith Mestrich, CEO of Amalgamated Bank, does not have the
traditional rap sheet of your typical bank exec - he came from
the worlds of organized labor and community organizing.
 Amalgamated is a small, privately-held bank, and are among
the most radical financial institutions in the United States –
they’re not shy about pursuing their agenda of social
progressivism and untraditional transparency.
 They're in an interesting position at this point in
history – their small size and private ownership means they’re
much nimbler than the big banks, but they also carry with them
nearly a century of legacy that they’re trying to figure out how
to use in a way that propels them forward, rather than weighs
them down, into this increasingly virtual and digital financial
era.
