Pennsylvania has a sizeable African American population sitting near 11% and using black owned banks should be of top priority for the black community who report that this fairly rural state has a long way to go in supporting it’s black community.

Some report terrible racism and Jim Crow era style opinions towards People of Color and like most parts of the USA ghetto-ised communities are in serious need of a boost.

So that’s a serious reason why the black community, rich and poor, should united and bank black in Pennsylvania. Many black banks and credit unions were formed to serve the interest of a disenfranchised black community, strengthen it and help build a safe place where blacks and the underprivileged could get access to loans and accounts.

So, joining a black bank in Pennsylvania could be a serious step into helping the black community.

Below is a list of the 2 black owned banks and credit unions in Pennsylvania with details.
