Do you hold the white banks you put your $ into to this standard? Do you scrutinize these other races that follow you around their establishments?
honestly, i didn't really think about it until now because i figured that they were ALL scummy anyway. I would LOVE to make the switch to a black owned business but don't want to get my hopes up only to be done dirty again. This time around i'll actually make a thorough effort about what i'm getting into because i'm skeptical as fukk about everything and how easy this would be to exploit.

Opened an account with One United Bank yesterday. I finally made up my mind to just get it done cause I've been meaning to do so for the longest but just kept putting it off. If you have it in your heart to bank with a black owned banking institution now is the time.


Been a member for a couple years. Welcome!

I also want to tell you guys to encourage our people to be patient with these banks as they aren't yet used to this influx of business and it will be an adjustment for everyone. For convience purposes, I keep my checking account with Bank Of America and my saving at CTB.

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

Amen and well said. I am opening up my account this weekend.

Thank you Killa Mike and others for encouraging folks to do this.

Atlanta is black mecca so it is the center of excellence.....but I hope we can replicate this all across the country at the other black banks.
