As recent surges in individuals moving their dollars into Black-owned banking institutions, the media has only really focused in on one, Citizens Trust Bank, in Atlanta. The bank, as of last week, had received over 8,000 new account holders largely through the diligent work of Atlanta rapper Killer Mike. With Killer Mike’s help, Citizens Trust Bank gained approximately $1 million in deposits.

Yes, there’s Citizens Trust Bank but there are also twenty other banking institutions owned by African-Americans. In case you are not located in the Atlanta area and want to know where are these banks stationed in your area/city, here’s a list compiled by HBCUMoney.com that is a great resource:
