Out of more than 400 original designs submitted to U.S. Bank’s LGBT
debit card contest earlier this year, the design by Olivia Ogba of
Atlanta was the first-place winner and is featured on the card. The
contest was a part of the bank’s ongoing efforts to show support for
LGBT and other communities, and highlight its emphasis on diversity and
inclusion.
“Our new card design allows the LGBT community and allies to put their
money where their pride is,” said Ann Dyste, assistant vice president,
LGBT strategy manager, U.S. Bank. “Olivia’s winning design honors
equality, unity and progress, which are all important to the bank.”
Ogba’s art of rainbow sparklers in the night sky is now one of U.S.
Bank’s 10 permanent card designs. Customers can choose Ogba’s debit card
art here,
beginning today.
“We take pride in creating card designs that are as unique as our
customers,” said Lisa Wolf, vice president, customer relationship
management, U.S. Bank. “This design is distinctive in that it was
created and chosen by the public, and shows our commitment to diversity
and inclusion.”
U.S. Bank is increasing its outreach to the LGBT community in a variety
of ways this year, including participating in Pride festivities in 30
cities, the largest number in the bank’s history. Bank employees will
march in Pride parades and/or staff booths in cities that include
Minneapolis, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Chicago.
In addition, U.S. Bank is proud to announce that it is joining the Human
Rights Campaign as a National Corporate Partner. HRC has named the bank
a “Best
Place to Work for LGBT Equality” for 10 years in a row. This
sponsorship is one of many LGBT organizations the bank supports across
its 25-state footprint, including the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of
Commerce, GLSEN and the LGBT Center in Los Angeles.
