EDIT:

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - The new accounts department has been very busy at Houston's Unity National Bank with hundreds of new customers signing up over the last few days.

The influx of new customers came in part after last week's police shootings involving Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

On social media there was a movement to send a strong message to America. If we can't get justice we will put the economic pressure on by withdrawing our Black dollars from other financial institutions.

One of those businesses is Unity Bank on Blodgett in Houston. Chartered back in 1985.

John Scroggins is the President and CEO of Unity. He says there have been 300 new customers to open accounts at their two locations in Houston in 72 hours...the only Black-owned bank in Texas.

Scroggins says anger is not the only thing sending new clients his way. He attributes it to an awakening as well.

Customers say Unity is just as competitive as your Bank of Americas and the Wells Fargo while also having the same services.

Scroggins also says just because it's a Black-owned bank doesn't mean their doors are not open to all races.

But for now he's seeing more people like Quincy King. Someone who's hoping to send a message to the country he feels neglected by.

ATL hoe :myman:


I was apart of the media campaign that did this, they have a young member advisory board and I'm linked with most them people. I opened up an account myself. From what I've been told most of their deposits before this campaign were made by churches. They now have a consumer platform and will be coming out with an app sometime within this month:youngsabo:


All done for free by the black guys who built sun trusts online banking app:blessed:


So none of y'all have an excuse not to open an account:usure:


They are also on the star atm network so you actually have more free options for ATMs than any other big bank.


Y'all nikkas got no excuse go sign up:jawalrus:

Im glad the old heads listened to the young people. It seems that age barrier is slowly getting crossed. heres a pic of the young advisory board that did this

I also wanna see a black Chinatown. Two versions of it. One Chinese food spots owned by blacks because I know many blacks who can cook Chinese food. @Still Ill FC

Two I wanna see an African version of Chinatown in the future and owned by blacks. All African foods from the diaspora. Nigerian, Ghanaian etc.

I just want to see the Chinese, Koreans and Arabs out of our communities before I die. I'd consider that a success for our generation.

I don't want to rain on our parade, but is anyone skeptical about this shyt? :lupe: Just because they are black, still doesn't mean they are exempt from corruption... And if this actually DOES work and expand, it will be on cacs radar and they will run it. Think about the incident back in the day when we had our own successful community and they bombed the shyt out of it (can't remember the name of the city).

Why are you skeptical about black banks and not white banks when it was white bankers who destroyed the global economy :patrice:
