I already bank with a black owned bank here in my city. I like the concept. I moved my mortgage to this institution this year. I am gradually moving everything I can in the hands of my people. I'm even changing my primary care physician. I buy from businesses off of WeBuyBlack.com.

I love we have a BLACK BANK let control something, but why is the deposit is so expensive, why make it a little easier for people that is coming from poverty, we as the people want to save also. Look at all these Bank asking for $25.00 to open up a checking or saving account, I want to represent any thing that stand for people in color just curious. Over the weekend I try opening after going over how much it was to open up a check I didn't even have a $100.00 so now I will have to wait, I love to support.

  Hi Tracy. Thank you for your feedback. We offer deposit rates higher than the national average rates for all banks. Our fees and the minimums to avoid fees are lower than most banks, so we believe our offering is very competitive. However, we are always seeking to improve and therefore will pass your feedback on to our team.

When Can I get a home loan in my area? I’ve tried and I was told I couldn’t get a home loan for the area I wanted ....Westminster-Ashburnham, MA. And I have most of the money. So I don’t understand.

  Thank you for your inquiry. We offer secured credit loans nationally and multifamily loans ( for affordable housing apartment buildings with 5 or more units) beyond our branch cities. We only offer single family loans in our branch cities because they have many more state specific requirements. We are looking to expand our loan programs over time and hope you will be patient as we grow.

  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.

I plan to open up an account with your bank. I am glad to hear that we have a bank that we can call our on. Hopefully, all minorities will join, as being members of Jewish banks, operated by Whites does the Black man/woman, no justice. As the only thing these banks does us, is to cash our checks, bur, are never willing to loan us money for personal matters, and, will not loan for business purposes. I need a bank that can help me with my small business expansion, as well as,one that will help me to grow and invest. Are you any different? If so, in what ways!

I would like to start a bank account for a group of 38,000 black men to pool money into however this seems complicated to do and we need financial advice how to make this work.

  Hello Phillip, You first need to figure out why you are pooling the money. Depending on why, you may HAVE to check with the (SEC) securities exchange commission to make sure you do not violate any laws. Hope this helps... Darren Fry

  Hi Marie, thanks for reaching out. You can definitely open a savings account and set up automatic transfers into the account from another bank or by splitting your direct deposit through your employer. For all of the details about transfer options and account details you can go here: https://www.oneunited.com/personal-banking/transfer-funds/.
