Consider seeking out a Black-owned bank or credit union for your deposit accounts, credit cards and loans. It’s an official designation: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, or FDIC, classifies these financial institutions as Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs). To meet the criteria, minority ownership needs to be at least 51 percent or the majority of board members is composed of minority members. The financial institution also is required to serve a predominantly minority community base. People of all races can use MDIs. By doing so, you help these businesses survive so they can provide valuable services to the community. If no MDI with a physical location is close to you, check out their digital banking services. As a customer, you can show your solidarity with people who have had discriminatory experiences, both historically and currently, with lenders.

The national average annual payroll for employer businesses is $1.25 million, more than four times the average annual payroll for a Black-run businesses. A funding gap almost certainly plays a role here, the findings stated. 18.7% of U.S. employer businesses are minority-owned (U.S. Census Bureau 2020 Annual Business Survey); 13.6% of the U.S. population is Black or African American (U.S. Census 2021 Quick Facts); There are 3.12 million Black-owned businesses in the U.S. (2022 Brookings Institute report); 46% of all Black entrepreneurs are women (2021 Guidant Financial report); Black-owned businesses support 3.56 million jobs in the U.S. (2022 Brookings Institute report); Fayetteville, N.C., has the highest percentage of Black-owned businesses in the U.S. (LendingTree study).
