There are currently about 21 African American owned banks with assets totaling approximately $4.7 billion or approximately 0.43 percent of African America’s $1.1 trillion in buying power. In 1994, there were 54 African American owned banks according to the FDIC. Now, there are 21.
We have the power to generate over 1 trillion dollars annually but invest less than half a percent of that in our own financial institutions. It’s time to change these numbers!
Check out the list below:

Mechanics and Farmers has been rebranded to M&F Bank. Please change it as it could be important to getting people to join.
This bank is two miles from me. It still has Mechanics & Farmers name next to the M&F logo on the side of the building.
M&F re-branded and is focusing getting away from black customers… do your research before you invest if it is still for you here is the article from their site.
https://secure.mfbonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jimsills-news.pdf
Thank You for the useful information. It is imperative we research before making such moves. Make sure they are for you!
That article said nothing about getting away from black customers. it said the need a younger customer base. So they are still a black bank wanting black customers older people just don’t borrow money like young people do.

Does anyone know of any other black owned banks in Central Florida?
Carver is NO LONGER Black-owned.
“The federal government agreed to rescue the bank, and Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Prudential Financial, Citigroup and others injected $55 million in cash. But existing Carver shareholders, many of them Harlem residents who for decades had turned to the bank for mortgages or savings accounts, were left with just a 2% stake. The nation’s largest African-American-run bank was no longer African-American-owned.”

Hello, My name is carin.

Please allow me to read at least one article without a pop-up ad for enrollment to display every 3 seconds (Next click). It is discouraging and very annoying. Allow me a chance to know if this sites provides the type of information/entertainment I will enjoy. Typically I would not write this type of response, I would have simply left the page and continued my search for information from another web source. I leave this response with the thought that someone else may feel similarly and a small adjustment might increase your viewership.
Did you pay to read this article? You think the people who created this website, took the time to research the content for this article and then write it do it for fun? Just like all website that you go to, they make their money off of advertising dollars. Do you send letters to NBC, ABC and CBS asking them not to show commercials between their TV shows? I doubt it.
