"Buy Black! Bank Black!" The chant was heard frequently over the course of 2020 during protests and conversations surrounding racial justice in America. It turns out it was more than just a chant. Over the past year, Black banks have a notable uptick in interest on the heels of this social movement. "We've seen more than 30 million dollars of new deposit relationships come to us through large corporate partners, non-profit organizations and customers over the past few months," said Michael Pugh, CEO and President of Carver Bank. "I can tell you that it's at least a forty percent increase above where we've seen our historical trends."
