MIAMI—Marti Mang, senior vice president of corporate lending at TotalBank and CREW-Miami's president, started her career at a time when women were not even able to borrow money from a bank without the signature of a man. We've certainly come a long way since then, Marti tells GlobeSt.com, but more work still needs to be done. Today, women continue to make 78 cents for every dollar a male counterpart makes.

GlobeSt.com caught up with Mang to discuss how the role of women in banking has advanced over the last 20 years. You can still read part one: How Community Banking Has Changed.

“When I started in banking, there were very few women in the banking profession,” she says. “Over time, the financial sector has recognized the strength that women have added to the industry.”
