Financially Intentional Empowering Communities Through Credit Unions and Socially Responsible Banks - Expert Edition Episode 38 (Classic Episode)
We are bringing back another heavy hitter! We continue the series on responsible. We highlighted Greenwood Bank as it was up and coming, founded by Killer Mike, Ryan Glover, and a former mayor of Atlanta, with a focus on social justice and equity.
The bank offers grants to black and Latinx business owners and is positioned as a socially responsible alternative. We also compare credit unions to traditional banks, emphasizing the community-focused nature of credit unions and the benefits of becoming a member. We then cover how credit unions provide opportunities for members to have a say in how the institution's profits are used, potentially aligning with your values and community interests.
