The Vietnamese-American community in Houston is thriving, yet financial institutions often fail to meet their specific needs. USV Bancorp was created in 2023 with the goal of providing culturally aligned financial services, breaking down language barriers and empowering local businesses and families.
For Small Business Owners: We plan to offer business loans tailored to the needs of Vietnamese entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the capital to start, expand, and thrive.
For Families and Homeowners: We plan to provide mortgage solutions that can help families build wealth through homeownership.
For Young Professionals and Future Generations: We plan to introduce financial education programs to ensure our youth are equipped with the knowledge and tools to succeed in today’s economy.
For the Community as a Whole: We plan to reinvest in our local neighborhoods, supporting economic growth and creating opportunities for all.
Our goal is to lay the foundation for something much greater- economic empowerment, financial independence, and a stronger future for the Vietnamese American community. With full regulatory approval and raising sufficient capital to commence operations, we plan to build a financial institution that reflects our values, supports our aspirations, and strengthens our community for generations to come.
Our leadership team consists of seasoned banking professionals and business leaders committed to uplifting the Vietnamese-American community. Each team member brings decades of experience in finance, banking, and community development.
