I wish I had one close to me. I'd have to go all the way to East New York bank in person.

yeah, the one I'm going to in Harlem isn't close to me either but I feel like getting to 125th is do-able, so I'll go outta my way to make the trip. But you can still open an account online from what I see

I been thinking of getting a Credit Card for months. So this thread got me thinking I might as well get a credit card with a Black-owned Financial institution.

Anybody recommend some credit cards for folks who are trying to rebuild their credit?

Assuming you just have little credit and not terrible, I would say get the Discover IT card, they are very lenient with giving cards with decent limits. Use that for a year and then apply for a card at one of the black banks.

If you can't get the Discover it you probably can't get a bank card with a limit that's worth a damn. Worst case you may need to get a secured credit card and just use it to pay your cellphone bill and nothing else and pay it off in full every month for a year, after that try to.get a non secured car.
