BALTIMORE, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CFG Bank (CFG), the largest bank headquartered in Baltimore, which provides flexible financing and online banking solutions to the national healthcare and multifamily markets and the Mid-Atlantic region, today announced the launch of its Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Money Market Account.

Through this first-of-its-kind account, commercial and retail customers will have the opportunity to donate 0.05% of their accrued interest through the end of the year to the Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Fund, with CFG matching up to $500,000.

Baltimore Community Foundation established the Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Fund to provide a secure way for Baltimoreans and those who care for them to contribute to the recovery and resilience of Baltimore as a result of the March 26 Key Bridge tragedy. This fund supports regional efforts to heal, respond and memorialize in coordination with adjacent efforts with strategic partners.

"We couldn't be more excited to launch this first-of-its-kind product to provide a unique opportunity for Marylanders and beyond to grow their money with our high yield interest rates while contributing to the immediate and ongoing needs of those affected by the Key Bridge tragedy," said CFG CEO Jack Dwyer. "The Key Bridge has always been a symbol of connection and resilience, qualities that also define our city and its people. This new product is a creative way for businesses and individuals to come together to help Baltimoreans impacted by the tragedy."

Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Money Market Account holders will donate a portion of their interest monthly. CFG will match total account donations — up to $500,000 — and contribute monthly to Baltimore Community Foundation's Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Fund. The Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Money Market Account will be active through December 31, 2024.

CFG previously made a corporate donation of $50,000 to the Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Fund.
