Smart Money Series: What Life Is Like When You Bank Black

Jul

What does it look like when you make the #BankBlack movement part of your everyday life?

It looks a lot like using your debit card at local Black-owned businesses. It looks a lot like recycling your dollars within your community. And when you’re using your OneUnited Bank Visa Debit card, frankly, it just looks good. How and where we use our dollars matters.

Be part of the movement. #GetTheCard

Hi there, I want to completely leave mainstream banking but there are some features that I still need to use. Is there any intention of adopting some of the other convenient banking features used by banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America, such as Zelle. If so, when?

  Hi Quinnard, within our mobile app there is an ATM locator feature that lets you know the locations of ATMs within our network local to you. The locator can tell you if a ATM location also accepts cash deposits. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions we can help with.
