Program overview

How U.S. Bank's supplier diversity program works.

U.S. Bank runs a Supplier Development Program that takes new vendor registrations through its STARS supplier portal at usbank.starssmp.com. Registration covers company overview, capabilities, experience, and business status, including small and diverse classifications such as Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The bank partners with national certifying organizations, chambers, and other state and federal certifying bodies, and runs a certification sponsorship program reachable at supplier.development@usbank.com.
