Thousands of blacks have opened new accounts at black-owned Citizens Trust Bank

[Bawon Samedi]

nikka make me shut up instead of dikk riding every single black thing, read the fine print before you sign up, that's how we get scammed. All because its black made, doesn't mean it can't be used against us, like Bet or hip hop.

Too many black people accept whatever is given to them no questions asked. Problem is we get trolled too frequently to not expect some bullshyt from this.
Or maybe you want things to be easy? Is it that hard to check for validation, so we don't get screwed later... again?
Remember black people are real quick to stab each other in the back. How do we know these black banks won't sell out? How do we know this isn't a trap? Do we wait and find out? Is it impossible to do background checks?

But nah right accept everything people give you no questions asked, and tell people to stfu for questioning. Cmon breh Dogs are smarter than that.

If this is legit than it's legit but what if its not? I guess wait and see huh? Its only money, whats the worst that can happen?

Why did you write me this long emotional post?

Here we go again with these dormant agent accounts that only pop up when black issues are being talked about.

ATL hoe


I was apart of the media campaign that did this, they have a young member advisory board and I'm linked with most them people. I opened up an account myself. From what I've been told most of their deposits before this campaign were made by churches. They now have a consumer platform and will be coming out with an app sometime within this month


All done for free by the black guys who built sun trusts online banking app


So none of y'all have an excuse not to open an account


They are also on the star atm network so you actually have more free options for ATMs than any other big bank.


Y'all nikkas got no excuse go sign up

Im glad the old heads listened to the young people. It seems that age barrier is slowly getting crossed. heres a pic of the young advisory board that did this

STAR® Locator didn't even know about that fee-less star atm network. Can use that locator to find a fee-less ATM near you.

I'ma sign up today.

Can we start listing black owned businesses on the front page or something? I'm sure there was already a thread on this but the search function is terrible

The front page add-on was one of the main culprits in slowing the site down, so until the dev re-writes this code for us we can't feature anything. This the thread you lookin for, its in The Root: The Official Black Business Directory

Go to nyc, Minneapolis, philly, silver spring, or dc.....

Or Providence, RI

I hope they take this opportunity to step their app up.....I looked at them back a while back and had to throw them in the bushes because the app was doo doo and I use mobile banking 100% of the time. A new, well designed up would go a long way for them

This, in addition to quality teleconferencing support, is paramount to me because I'm in a locale where there aren't ANY black owned banks. I don't visit my local bank unless there's an issue. Since my money will be in another state, I need to be ensured that quality and prompt service can be provided by any of these online banks.

I've seen this bank many times, and most likely, the bank I'll be rolling with... I wish I had more options.... the cost of living in a state controlled by the descendants of KKK members and slave owners who destroyed the financial infrastructure of black America's most successful financial district.

This is great, but understand... what you spend your money on is much more important than where it is kept.

They let us pool our black dollars because the money is not being used for anything constructive. Our money goes to rent and weave and hot cheetos.

On the other hand, when large amounts of money are going to actually be put to use toward actual black causes, the US government will block or seize the funds outright. Libiya tried to give over a billion dollars to Farrakhan. NOPE.
Officials to Block Qaddafi Gift to Farrakhan

The other thing is... If you put all your money in a single bank, you must be prepared to answer the serious question of what are you willing to do when the government freezes all transfers to/from that bank. If the answer is nothing, or you want to avoid making contingencies for that scenario... then understand that the reality is you have no money.
