Climate First Bank is a new, values-based bank that will be launching operations in St. Petersburg, FL in June 2021. Led by an experienced and focused management team, Climate First Bank (I/O), will work to address the climate crisis while operating under unwavering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. In the bank’s own words, “We believe that a bank does well by doing good. Leading by example will help us achieve fantastic, measurable success for all stakeholders. We believe in changing finance to finance change.”

Optimus Energy Solutions knows the value of community banking first-hand and we are excited for our colleagues at Climate First Bank on their new venture. The knowledge that local banking partners bring to small businesses can often be the difference in access to much-needed financing. Climate First Bank (I/O) will be a full-service bank offering personal and commercial banking services with a triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity and a focus on community.

More information on this fantastic initiative is available at climatefirstbank.com. 

Since our inception, Optimus Energy Solutions has worked to support our clients, our business partners, land preservation initiatives, and our local Central Florida community. We have also benefitted immeasurably from the support of these same groups. Beginning this month, we will be running a special monthly business highlight of other organizations doing great things. We believe one of the most important things a business can do is highlight the success of those around us for the benefit of clients and the overall marketplace.
