Bank Supplier Diversity Programs: Which Banks Buy From Diverse Suppliers (2026)

We pulled the supplier pages of the 10 largest US bank buyers on July 24, 2026. Three still run programs under the supplier diversity name, four rebranded them, and three removed their dedicated pages. Here is the bank-by-bank truth, plus where to register.

Search "bank supplier diversity" and you get a stack of program pages that no longer exist. The 2025 DEI rollback hit bank procurement branding hard, and most published roundups now point at dead URLs. So we did the check ourselves: on July 24, 2026 we pulled the current supplier pages of 10 of the largest US banks and investment banks and recorded what each program is called now, whether the old supplier diversity URL still resolves, and where a certified firm actually registers.

The short version: the purchasing infrastructure mostly survived. The branding did not. Three of the ten still run a program under the supplier diversity name. Four kept the program but renamed it. Three removed their dedicated pages entirely, leaving only a generic vendor registration path. Every status below links to the bank's profile in our corporate program directory and to a registration walkthrough where we have one.

"Removed" does not mean the bank stopped buying from certified firms. It means the public-facing diverse-supplier page is gone and your entry path is now the standard vendor route. That distinction matters for how you spend your business development time, so here is each bank in detail.

Banks that kept the supplier diversity name

JPMorgan Chase

The strongest surviving program in US banking. The Global Supplier Diversity page is live at jpmorganchase.com and still publishes its accepted certification list: NMSDC, WBENC, NGLCC, SBA 8(a), NaVOBA, USPAACC, NVBDC, USHCC, Disability:IN, WEConnect International, MSDUK, DBE, HUBZone, and state and federal agency certifications. Two named structures matter for sellers: the Corporate Alliance for Supplier Capital, which helps small and underrepresented firms meet corporate requirements, and a Tier 2 program that pushes the bank's prime suppliers to subcontract with small and diverse businesses. The page publishes no spend figures. See the JPMorgan Chase supplier diversity profile and our step-by-step JPMorgan Chase supplier registration guide.

Morgan Stanley

The Supplier Diversity page at morganstanley.com is live under that exact title, with a company registration link and the Morgan Stanley Small Business Academy, a 12-week instructor-led program followed by a yearlong mentorship. Investment banks buy less in raw volume than commercial banks, but professional services, technology, and market data vendors get real consideration here. See the Morgan Stanley program profile and the Morgan Stanley supplier guide.

Capital One

Capital One's supplier diversity page is live and still invites firms to "register in our portal as a diverse supplier." The page is a thin landing that routes to an external portal, so registration is the whole game here. See the Capital One program profile and the Capital One supplier guide.

Banks that kept the program but renamed it

US Bank

Now called Supplier Development, hosted under the community section of usbank.com. The substance survived the rename: the page still defines a diverse supplier as one at least 51% owned, controlled and managed by a qualifying individual or group, still runs a Tier 2 subcontracting program, and still sponsors certification costs for small and diverse firms through a certification sponsorship program. Registration runs through the supplier portal; the team is reachable at supplier.development@usbank.com. Our US Bank supplier guide covers the registration steps.

PNC

PNC now brands its program Supplier Engagement & Development. The procurement copy still says the bank's practices are designed to identify diverse-owned businesses, and registration still runs through PNC's supplier database, where the sourcing team looks first when an opportunity fits. The PNC supplier guide walks through the database registration.

Citi

Citi's dedicated supplier diversity pages are gone; the suppliers section of citigroup.com now carries a page titled Supplier Engagement Program. The current page talks quality, cost, and innovation and omits the certification and registration detail the old program page carried. A removed page is not a removed budget, so certified firms should still register and still name their certifications in the profile. Details in the Citi supplier guide.

Goldman Sachs

Goldman's Vendor Diversity program is gone from goldmansachs.com; what stands now is the Vendor Program and a Small Vendor Program that "aims to break down barriers to market access for small businesses of all backgrounds." The current page does not mention diverse-business certification at all. Prospective vendors submit the Small Vendor Prospective Vendor Form on the vendor program page. The 10,000 Small Businesses education program remains separate from procurement. See the Goldman Sachs program profile and the Goldman Sachs supplier guide.

Banks that removed their dedicated pages

Bank of America

The old supplier diversity URL at about.bankofamerica.com returns a 404 with no redirect. The bank's live supplier page covers ethics, human rights, and the environment, says the bank does business with suppliers that respect "opportunity and inclusion," and points existing suppliers to the GEP SMART procurement tool. No diverse-supplier registration path is published. Press reports in February 2025 covered the bank removing diversity language from its annual report. If Bank of America is on your target list, the entry path is now the standard vendor route plus relationships with its prime contractors. Our Bank of America program profile and Bank of America supplier guide track the current state.

Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo's supplier diversity URL now 301-redirects to a generic supplier registration page built on SAP Business Network (Ariba). The registration page contains no diversity language and no certification list. Onboarding is invitation-only from Supply Chain Management; prospective suppliers can submit an online profile for future sourcing consideration, which is worth the hour it takes. See the Wells Fargo program profile and the Wells Fargo supplier guide.

Truist

The old supplier diversity page 404s. Truist's current suppliers page describes a Tier2 Subcontracting Program that "strongly encourages its large strategic suppliers to subcontract to qualified, capable, and innovative vendors," with no diversity language, and routes questions to truistsupplierdevelopment@truist.com. The most recent Supplier Economic Impact Report on truist.com covers 2024. The Truist supplier guide has the current contact path.

What this means if you sell to banks

Register everywhere the portal still exists. Portals are databases, and databases outlive branding. A profile with your certifications attached costs an afternoon per bank and is what sourcing teams query when an opportunity opens.

Certification still functions as a database key. NMSDC MBE certification and WBENC WBE certification remain the credentials bank procurement systems are built around; JPMorgan Chase's live certification list is proof the plumbing is intact. NMSDC initial certification runs $270 to $1,700 depending on your revenue tier and regional affiliate, and there is no revenue cap on eligibility.

Tier 2 is where the durable dollars moved. Banks under branding pressure pushed diverse-supplier activity down a level: their prime contractors carry subcontracting expectations even where the bank's own page went quiet. Truist kept exactly one program through the rollback, and it is the Tier 2 one. Target the primes that hold master service agreements with your target bank.

Federal exposure keeps a floor under the whole system. Banks and their large vendors that hold federal contracts still operate under FAR subcontracting-plan requirements: any federal contract expected to exceed $900,000 ($2 million for construction) requires a small business subcontracting plan, per FAR 19.702 as amended effective October 1, 2025. That is statute, not sentiment, and it is why subcontracting pipelines survived the corporate rebrand. Our supplier diversity pillar guide covers how the corporate and federal tracks fit together.

Recheck before an outreach push. Every status above carries a July 24, 2026 date because these pages keep moving. Verify the URL the week you build your target list, not the quarter before.

This roundup covers the banks themselves. The payment networks and processors that sit next to them, Visa, Mastercard, Fiserv, and FIS, run their own buying programs with different names and different entry points; we track those in our fintech and payments supplier diversity guide.
