MGMT 90015: Athena Bancorp

$22.00

Athena Bancorp

Athena Bank is a community bank that is focused on the banking needs of small businesses and individuals. The bank was established in 2015 by Beth Daniels who was a former senior vice president in charge of lending of BayPoint Financial Bank’s New England region (Schlesinger & Abbott, 2019). Daniels had worked in the banking industry for a long time and hence she had a great deal of experience on how to manage a community bank. Her bank was customer centric- a gap she had identified when working for the BayPoint Financial (Schlesinger & Abbott, 2019). Athena Bank focused on market expansion, customer centric, human resource development, and application of technology strategies to increase its competitiveness in the US banking industry. Basically, the U.S. banking industry one of the most regulated industries in the market as the government- under the Federal Reserve Bank- wants to protect customers’ deposits. This is done by monitoring how banks utilize the deposits made by customers and whether banks operating in the market have adequate capital. The strict regulation is partly because banks contribute significantly towards the economic growth and development of the country. While the banking industry was regarded as mature, there was a great market that could be captured by Athena Bank especially focusing on community banking. For instance, a survey by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 2017 revealed that 8.4 million and 24.2 households in the United States were unbanked and underbanked respectively (Schlesinger & Abbott, 2019).
