Per NPR apparently POC are too dumb to use their phone to deposit checks?

And then the evil payday loan places come into play.

quote:

When banks close, the impact can go beyond inconvenience. It can also push people to more expensive options such as check-cashing stores or payday lenders. "Lower-income consumers don't necessarily have automobiles," said Reider. "They don't have a lot of choices. And then, of course, those payday lenders come in and that just perpetuates a cycle of low income because consumers spend inordinate amounts just managing their financial services."

There are people who go four years between drinking any water at all and can only ever slake their thirst at polling stations. It isn't that hard to believe they can't make mobile deposits.

So they can get a ride to payday lenders?

That's not where they go. They go to the liquor store where they can also buy Hennessey and lottery tickets.

Why is low-income always associated with minorities? Moreover, how many banking options are there in rural areas?

It's the combination of not changing bong water and eating the whole tray of brownies that had enough for 5 stoners in it.

That's about the dumbest thing I have read all week. Using Moorehead, Ms., as an example that ended up better off does not make a very good point. Businesses are not going to stay where they lose money.
"Used the pandemic as an excuse to close more"? Well yeah! When they close businesses to customers, what the hell are they supposed to do?

NW Arkansas bank Arvest is closing 33 of it's 200+ branches in MO/AR/OK.

None of them are in POC majority locales.

Early 30s. I so rarely receive checks that I never really thought about it.

File it under "I could probably figure this out in less than 5 minutes but haven't needed to yet."

Plus, where do you get Dum-dums or the chance to see the attractive tellers on an app?

If everything is racist, nothing is racist.

Seriously, if one has to resort to closing bank branches (in the days of internt) as a prominent example of racism in the USA... there is no racism left to find in the USA.

You know, if I had such a hard time doing things due to having low income, I might consider bettering myself so i could earn more and I wouldn’t have these problems.

SSI and UI are done via direct deposit. Why do BIPOCs or whatever alphabet they are going by today hate the environment?

I think this is part of this long-term push to get the USPS into the banking business.
