Keith Mestrich, CEO of Amalgamated Bank, talks about The Progressive Bank for Progressive People

Keith Mestrich, CEO of Amalgamated Bank, does not have the traditional rap sheet of your typical bank exec - he came from the worlds of organized labor and community organizing.  Amalgamated is a small, privately-held bank, and are among the most radical financial institutions in the United States – they’re not shy about pursuing their agenda of social progressivism and untraditional transparency.  They're in an interesting position at this point in history – their small size and private ownership means they’re much nimbler than the big banks, but they also carry with them nearly a century of legacy that they’re trying to figure out how to use in a way that propels them forward, rather than weighs them down, into this increasingly virtual and digital financial era.
