Golden Bank National Association

Golden Bank National Association is a minority-owned, for-profit financial institution registered in SAM.gov since 2013, with its primary location in Houston, Texas. As an Asian-Pacific American owned corporate entity, the bank specializes in community development financial services and targeted lending to economically distressed communities. The institution focuses on providing financial access, credit opportunities, and support to underserved markets, with a particular emphasis on community development and financial inclusion strategies.

Through federal grant awards from the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, Golden Bank National Association has consistently received funding under multiple programs, most notably the Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) Program. These grants, ranging from $280,369 in 2024 to previous awards in 2020-2023, support the bank's initiatives to increase investments and assistance to Treasury-certified Community Development Financial Institutions. The federal grants specifically enable the bank to expand lending, investing, and service activities in low-income and economically challenged communities. The bank's grant-funded work includes providing direct lending, making strategic investments, and delivering financial services that create credit and economic opportunities in underserved markets. The CDFI Fund has recognized Golden Bank's efforts through formula-based grants that reward depository institutions for increasing financial support and technical assistance to residents and businesses in economically distressed areas.
