NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Black Connect, the only national, membership-based organization focused solely on eliminating the racial wealth gap through business ownership, announced that NorthOne, one of America's leading banking apps for small business, has been awarded Corporate Partner of the Year during their 2022 Alliance Awards. The virtual event celebrated some of the biggest champions of racial justice and economic inclusion that supported the organization in 2021.
NorthOne and Black Connect partnered in 2021 to provide more tools and resources built for Black entrepreneurs. The companies quickly found strong mission alignment in encouraging and supporting business ownership as a powerful driver for social and economic mobility.
"Beyond providing our entrepreneur and small business members with access to NorthOne's banking platform," said Angela Majette, Co-Founder and President of Black Connect, "NorthOne has offered a variety of resources to the organization that have increased our capacity to assist more Black business owners around the country. Our members rave about the ease of NorthOne's sign up process and they are taking full advantage of NorthOne's Envelopes feature to better manage their money. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to celebrate the team at NorthOne for going the extra mile to support Black Connect and our members."
Eytan Bensoussan, Co-Founder and CEO of NorthOne, also shared his gratitude and appreciation for the award: "I couldn't be prouder. Black Connect is such a mission aligned organization with our own. Every single person across America — it doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, what your name is — should have access to the best possible services so that they can take their economic situation into their own hands and build a better future. Black Connect is a critical piece of that puzzle, and it is a privilege to be working alongside them to empower entrepreneurs from the Black community across America."
