Carver Bancorp (Nasdaq: CARV) appointed Jason Sisack as Senior Enterprise Risk Management Advisor, effective Nov 4, 2025, reporting to President and CEO Donald Felix.

Dream Chasers Capital Group (DCCG), Carver Bancorp's (NASDAQ:CARV) largest shareholder with a 9.7% stake, is seeking potential buyers or partners to acquire a controlling interest in the bank. This call for sale comes as Carver faces regulatory challenges, with a recent June 2025 OCC order addressing unsafe practices related to strategic planning and earnings performance.

The bank's current situation shows concerning metrics: $30M in losses, $40M in capital destruction since 2020, and an 80% stock price decline. DCCG highlights Carver's assets including $700M in assets, $600M in deposits, CDFI certification, and partnerships with JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. The fund proposes a new business model focusing on digital strategy, crypto services, and structural changes including board reconfiguration and performance-based compensation.

Carver Bancorp (NASDAQ:CARV), a community bank and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), commemorated Juneteenth by ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell on June 20, 2025. CEO Donald Felix highlighted the bank's 77-year legacy of serving historically under-resourced communities in New York.

The event followed Felix's participation in a Treasury Department roundtable discussing how community banks can drive small business growth and household financial wellness. Founded in 1948, Carver focuses on reinvesting deposits into local communities, supporting small-to-mid-sized businesses, and expanding financial access to everyday New Yorkers.

As one of the largest African American banks in the country, Dream Chasers believes Carver has significant potential for growth and shareholder value creation.
