Building off of the early success of our HOPE Inside models at Bank of the West, Union Bank and SunTrust Banks, Operation HOPE won the American Banker 2016 ‘Innovator of the Year’ Award for its HOPE Inside model. Continuing the unfinished work of President Abraham Lincoln’s Freedman’s Bank of March 3rd, 1865, Operation HOPE is committed to ‘establishing the HOPE Inside model as the ‘private banker to the working poor, the underserved and the struggling middle class,’ with 1,000 locations open and producing results by year 2020.

Operation HOPE will establish the high impact HOPE Inside model as the ‘Starbucks of financial inclusion’ for the nation.

Here Operation HOPE, SunTrust Banks, the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Atlanta Police Foundation and the Atlanta Police Department came together to open the HOPE Inside at Atlanta Police Department, benefiting the sworn personnel from the department.

Here Operation HOPE is awarded the ‘Key to the City’ for the City of Murfreesboro, TN, after opening the HOPE Inside, Murfreesboro with First Tennessee Bank.
