Black banks need to embrace technology to remain relevant in the 21st century, says OneUnited Bank COO Teri Williams in a new interview. “There has been a decline in banks in general. There also has been a decline in community banks that were the size of a lot of the Black banks that went out of business... Part of what we realized is there were a lot of Black banks with a great mission, but they didn’t have the economies of scale to invest in new technology... and we acquired four banks and combined them into one.OneUnited is attracting black customers from across the country. You can open an account with us anywhere in the 50 states. We have customers all over, because we have the technology where you can open an account wherever you are."
