Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Ally for all.
We’re committed to building a culture of belonging, where everyone can be even better together.
Doing culture right, from the inside out.
“Doing it right” is at the core of who we are, which is why we believe diversity, equity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords, but fundamental values that shape and strengthen our culture. When we begin by recognizing and celebrating unique differences, success soon follows — in how we prioritize our customers, serve our communities and empower our team members to be their best selves.
“Embracing and honoring each other’s differences not only creates better opportunities for our teammates to feel a sense of belonging while bettering their careers, it allows us to make the most of our combined experiences and diverse points of view to better improve the financial lives of everyone we serve.”
- Reggie Willis, Chief Diversity Officer

Employee Resource Groups —
Every voice is heard.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) help our people connect and affect positive change together. Anyone can join any group and learn more about their teammates.
“At Ally, DEI isn’t something we just talk about or put on a poster — it’s how we show up every day for our employees, customers and communities. It’s personally rewarding to be part of an organization that prioritizes creating an environment where we all feel seen, heard and valued. DEI is truly the heartbeat of what makes the Ally culture so strong and resilient, and is a huge point of pride and fulfillment in my career.”
- Chad Comartin,
Audit Executive Director and DE&I Champion
