Organizers are seeking regulatory approval for the proposed Fortuna Bank would become the first women-owned bank in the Columbus region and Ohio.
Fortuna Bank has submitted an application for a bank charter to the Ohio Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
While the bank would offer a full complement of banking services to anyone, the focus would be on addressing women's financial issues. The U.S. has about 4,800 banks. Of those, only 13 are women-owned institutions and none of them are in Ohio, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Fortuna has counted 14 banks owned and operated by women.
"It's not just any bank, but a bank with a mission and that mission is to help women," Berger said she told him.
