Myles Meyers: Superbia! 1st in Gay Banking, Insurances and Money Management

In this episode of OutBüro Voices featuring LGBTQ professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders from around the world, host Dennis Velco chats with Myles Meyers CEO and founder of Superbia Services.

The credit union is owned and managed by it’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersexed, asexual, gender nonconforming, queer, and or great community allies who join. It provides all the traditional financial and banking services for personal and small businesses. The services side is working to provide life and health insurance as well as wealth management. Mr. Meyers has decades of financial services experience and founded Superbia based on the discrimination and biases many in the LGBTQ community face. Superbia, which is Latin meaning Pride, is designed to serve a community need as well as provide needed funding for LGBTQ community nonprofits. The more you use the services the more that, it can be provided to the community. It is a social impact business that creates an equal financial playing field where all members are treated with dignity and respect. As Mr. Meyers stated, “the world doesn’t need another bank or insurance company, but the world does need one that is focused on serving this community”. 13:50
