The U.S. government is giving billions of dollars to minority-owned banks with an aim of helping to revitalize low-income communities in cities like Atlanta, Detroit and New Orleans. Some of the nation s largest financial institutions are also pitching in, recently commiting about $140 million to banks of color. Minority Depository Institutions, or MDIs, have received $50 million as part of Bank of America s billion-dollar commitment last year to enhance racial equality, as well as $50 million and $40 million donations, from Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, respectively, as part of similar pledges to support underrepresented communities.

“Customers are now thinking about, ‘Okay, how do I support the ecosystem of my own community?’” Pugh said. “Well, when talking about economic empowerment, it first has to start with our own financial choices and things we that we decide in terms of how we spend our dollars or [where we] place our dollars.” Some Black consumers, like Tennille Patterson, have taken it a step further. The New York resident not only plans to bank Black, she contributed to the growth of banks like Carver in another meaningful equitable way: by purchasing stock. “It made sense to me because it was part of my plan, like, buy some stock and then later go and open an account,” Patterson said. “I felt like at least I was doing something by having a stock and contributing to [Carver’s] growth that way.”
