Description
In late 1998, City First Bank opened its doors with its founding CEO, Debbi Hurd Baptist and Chairman Lloyd Smith at the helm. In 2000, Cliff Kellogg succeeded Debbi Hurd Baptist upon her untimely death. He was succeeded by the current CEO, Edward Furash. Mr. Furash has assembled a top notch staff here at City First. On November 24, 1998, City First Bank obtained all necessary governmental approvals to open for business, and became a member of the Federal Reserve System. City First also became the 1000th member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, thus providing access to borrowings from the FHLB system. In April 1999, City First Bank was certified as a community development financial institution, CDFI, by the CDFI Fund. As a certified CDFI, City First Bank is eligible to participate in many of the technical and financial assistance programs sponsored by the CDFI Fund including Financial Assistance Awards, Bank Enterprise Awards and certification as a Certified Development Entity, or CDE. This designation was necessary to offer the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. City First Bank will maintain its CDFI and CDE status indefinitely. In July 1999, the Bank became a local and small business certified by the D.C. Office of Local Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. This designation allowed City First to partner with larger companies for various contract opportunities with the government of the District of Columbia. ...
