    Not a new idea.

    The Women's National Bank, which opened in Washington D.C. in 1977 (the name was changed later to Adams National Bank), was the first federally chartered bank owned by women, and was especially targeted at serving women and minority-owned businesses. My wife and I were charter depositors shortly after the bank opened. We've since moved away from the area, but it looks like the bank is still in business and doing good work. http://www.adamsbank.com/index.html

    There may be similar institutions elsewhere in the country.
