HERE FOR GOOD FIDELITY BANK

Fidelity Bank is a local community bank with a history of serving the metro New Orleans area for over 100 years. The Bank prides itself on delivering World Class Client Service through a consultative approach with clients. The Fidelity Southshore team is made up of well known, experienced and knowledgeable bankers who take a leadership role in many local organizations and events in the community. Some ongoing initiatives include: The Zurich Classic, French Quarter Festivals, First Tee of Greater New Orleans, Junior League of Greater New Orleans, Habitat for Humanity, New Orleans Chamber and the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation. The team is especially proud of their Community Partners program designed exclusively for nonprofits which in addition to providing financial services also includes promotion, sponsorship and an annual financial gift. Recently, Fidelity Bankers took a leadership role in the local banking community as a preferred Small Business Administration Lender. The team helped thousands of businesses via their facilitation of the Payment protection Program (PPP). It is estimated the Bank assisted in saving over 22,000 jobs in the community. VP and Retail Banking Manger Lori Pausina comments, “I am so proud of the Southshore team who worked countless hours through this crisis to make sure PPP loan applications were processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. We were one of the few banks who were ready to assist on day one of the program and we continued to take applications from clients and non-clients to the application period closed. Because of that, we were able to not only assist New Orleans’ businesses, but we have developed relationships with even more members of the community who now recognize the importance of banking local.” Fidelity Bank’s leadership team’s mission is reflected in the Bank’s overall mission—to be HERE FOR GOOD. This 112-year-old institution makes decisions for long-term planning and it one of the most capitalized banks in the region. Giving back is another way the team lives the mission of being HERE FOR GOOD. When the Bank researched and discovered women business owners were drastically underserved the Bank developed and launched its highly successful P.O.W.E.R. program. The Southshore leadership team supports the P.O.W.E.R. initiative by holding monthly women in business join ups in their branches (now virtual!) and frequently hosting educational seminars that address challenges and opportunities and position the business for growth. With offices throughout greater New Orleans, the Fidelity Bank team is ready to assist and show clients the difference a local, community bank can make. Pausina adds, “Here for Good is not just words on a wall to us. It is who we are and who we will be each and every day.”
