This is very true and educational. I think the problem is lack of marketing and convenience I didn’t know black owned banks and credit unions existed. And after researching it seem they mostly cater to one central location. Collectively they could service the entire U.S (taking care of the convenience) and have much more expendable funds to dedicate to marketing. If the people know about these banks and credit unions and can have availability to there assets regardless of where they are they will make the switch. In turn improving black wealth, business and stature as a whole.
I myself didn’t know about the opportunity of putting my money in black own bank. Nor did I know we on credit Union also. Is there a credit union in Baltimore I can utilize also. I’m having a problem accessing the Credit Union site.
