I'm interested in joining and the words from Darius were empowering but many of us are addicted to the ads we see on TV and are interested in supporting our own people. Oh how powerful black people could be if we were turly United and divided.

  Hi Joseph, we truly appreciate your passion and desire for a local branch in your area. Currently, as part of our Bank For the Future initiative, we are focused on building our internet branch and online products so we can offer our great products and services on a national scale. But we are noting all the interest for local branches we receive so we can make informed decisions when the time comes to extend our branch footprint as well.
