Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Patriot National Bancorp Inc. (PNBK.US) faces scrutiny over its ethical practices, particularly regarding fair lending. The company settled a DOJ probe for alleged redlining in Memphis from 2015-2020, where its share of mortgage applications from majority-Black/Hispanic neighborhoods was significantly lower than peers. As part of the settlement, PNBK will invest $1.3 million in a loan subsidy fund and $375,000 in outreach. Separately, the OCC has deemed Patriot Bank in a "troubled condition," raising concerns about overall risk management. Employee feedback on pay and benefits is mixed, with some reports of positive benefits like 401k matching, while others mention a lack of health insurance for part-timers. Information on other ethical areas like environmental impact or ethical sourcing is largely unavailable.
