As Seen & Heard

bank316.com Named Kentico Site of the Month

We built 316 Financial to be different. Purpose-driven. Faith-forward. And designed with intention at every step. That includes our website—bank316.com—which was thoughtfully crafted to reflect the heart of our mission and make it easy for customers to engage with a bank that gives back.

Last month, that work was recognized in a new way: bank316.com has been named Kentico’s Site of the Month.

Kentico is a global content management system trusted by enterprise brands around the world, and their Site of the Month award highlights websites that stand out for innovation, performance, and design. Being chosen is an honor—and a reminder that even our digital presence can reflect something deeper.

We’re incredibly proud of this recognition, but even more proud of the team behind it. From our designers and developers to our strategists and storytellers, every person who touched this site poured in their talent and care. They helped bring 316 to life online—and ensured that our values shine through, even in the small details.

At 316, we believe your bank should stand for something more. That’s why we tithe 10% of profits to causes that uplift and inspire. It’s why we aim for excellence in every experience we deliver. And it’s why moments like this matter—because they help us share our mission with even more people.

Thanks to Kentico for the spotlight—and to our community for being the reason behind the work. We’re just getting started.

We had the privilege of joining Jamal Banks of WFMV to talk about 316 Financial—what inspired us, how we’re different, and why we believe your bank should reflect your values.

“We realized people choose their churches, schools, and even grocery stores based on shared faith, but banks don’t really function that way,” states Ann-Stanton Gore, Chief Marketing Officer. “And we started asking—why not? Why not us?”

In the interview, Ann-Stanton shares how 316 Financial was born out of a desire to bring faith and finances together in a meaningful way. From our commitment to tithing 10% of profits to the organizations that align with our values, to the practical tools we offer to help you steward your resources well, we share our goal of being a partner in your financial peace.

We were honored to be featured on WOAD 1300 AM in Jackson, Mississippi — a trusted voice in urban gospel radio.

Markeia Johnson, who leads our Financial Stewardship Committee at 316 Financial, shared how our bank is reimagining what it means to align faith and finances. She touched on our mission, our commitment to tithing 10% of profits to causes that uplift, and why stewardship matters now more than ever.

We’re grateful to WOAD for the opportunity — and to every listener who’s exploring how banking can be a force for good.

We recently had the privilege of joining Pastor Bruce Oliver on Talks for Christ, a podcast that highlights faith-driven ministries and organizations. In this conversation, we shared the heart behind 316 Financial and shared more about how we tithe 10% of our profits causes that reflect His teachings.

“Banking doesn’t have to be just transactional,” said team member, Mandi Gilbert, “It can be intentional.”

We discussed what it means to connect faith and finance, how everyday banking can become an act of generosity, and why tithing is central to our mission.

We were honored to be featured on WDJC-FM’s Joyful Noise morning show with Russell P. and Jessica — a meaningful opportunity to introduce 316 Financial to the Birmingham community and share how we’re doing banking differently.

Mandi Gilbert, Head of Marketing and Communications, and Jason Williams, Director of Banking Services, joined the show to talk about the vision behind 316 Financial: a bank created to connect faith and finance in a tangible, everyday way.

“We built 316 Financial to serve people with modern banking tools and a mission that reflects our values,” says Jason. “That’s really the core of what 316 Financial is.”

A division of Primis Bank, 316 Financial offers all the tools of modern banking — including a robust mobile app, FDIC insurance, and 24/7 support — but with a mission rooted in something deeper. The bank tithes 10% of profits to ministries and Christian organizations making a difference in the world.

“We don’t think that faith and finance have to sit in two separate boxes,” says Mandi. “[Now, people] can do their banking in a way that reflects their values … and connects with a bigger picture.”

We’re deeply grateful to Russell and Jessica for the invitation and conversation — and to the WDJC listeners who are already joining the 316 Financial family!
