Want to work with U.S. Bank?
Please complete the supplier registration process through our supplier portal, which will prompt you to provide your company overview, experience and diverse or small business status. While registration doesn’t ensure a preferred supplier status, we will contact you if there’s an opportunity that fits your company’s description.
Diverse businesses
We follow the industry standard definition that a diverse supplier must be at least 51% owned, controlled and managed by an individual or group that includes minority group members, women, veterans, people with disabilities or the LGBTQ+ community.
Small businesses
U.S. Bank recognizes a small business as a business that is privately owned and operated, organized for profit and located in the U.S. or contributing to the U.S. economy. The number of employees and annual revenue that qualify a business as small vary by industry and are set by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Designations include Small Business Enterprise, Small Disadvantaged Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zones, Women-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. To self-attest your business, go to SAM.gov.
“Through our expanded Supplier Development and Diversity program at U.S. Bank, we are focused on helping our small and diverse businesses grow and develop.”
Craig McKenney, Chief Procurement Officer
