Kat Taylor, Co-CEO of Oakland, Calif.-based Beneficial State Bank, was interviewed for the cover story of Conscious Company Magazine: “[Capital] has been deployed [in harmful ways] because it got anonymized. As soon as the banking system got big enough and the deposits all went into this big black box, then the bankers on the other side felt entitled to lend it to anything that would maximize return... I believe we can take the banking system back and make it govern in the public interest... We wouldn’t want depositors saying, ‘Lend to this company,’ or, ‘Lend to that nonprofit,’ but they should be able to look at our quarterly and annual track records and say, ‘Yep, I’m comfortable with that lending practice, so I’m staying here,’ or, ‘Nope! I don’t want any part of that, so I’m getting out.’”
