Love how the article says that racist white banks won’t loan people of color money. Maybe it’s because no one is going to loan money to someone with a credit score of 402. It will be interesting to see what the rate of default will be at this bank.

That sounds like something my mom might have done back then though. It's amazing that they don't have a simple formula in place to check for this though.

They’ll make a shite ton of money off of fees for stuff like this.

It’s actually a pretty ingenious idea if they can get a business model together. If it’s black owned and can for the large part help the black community by assisting them in building trust and hopefully credit, I’m all for it.

There’s going to be some incredible fricking for a good portion of them though. You can’t target a market that has a history of bad credit and poor banking and not have a method to make money in a non traditional banking method.

Dammit upgrayyed, I have actually never considered this. I just figured they had me mixed up with another dude with my name (which isn't common at all) in Louisiana

I'm sure it'll be a typical "predatory lending" setup but people will ignore that because it's "black owned"

You were likely added as an authorized user by your parents at some point.

You’d think based on racial crime statistics he’d definitely want to change his name.

In the mid 80s when I was 8? We pretty much used all cash back then. I can't think of a reason I'd have been on my parent's cards, if they even had one.

My dad would have donated a kidney to me before he gave me access to a credit line he had open back then.

Bingo. Another example of bullshite exploiting those black folks who are at higher risk all under the guise of racial empowerment. They wont listen to ole whitey explain how they're getting screwed, well, don't get mad when we say "told you so."

How is this not racist? I don't or can't understand.

Replace the word black with white."A new majority White owned and operated digital bank hopes to make supporting White-owned banks and businesses a little easier for consumers."


I understand that blacks are minority but how does that excuse blatant out and out racism?

How can there be literal riots about racism 1 day then the next someone says well here's a great racist idea.

Someone explain this to me like I'm 12 please, because I don't get it.

Never trust a bank whose CFO’s first name is “Killer”.

Ok, great. If he can make it work, good for him. If it fails, then he fricked up. It's called capitalism.
