Killer Mike has co-founded Greenwood, a digital banking platform for Black and Latinx people. The Run The Jewels member launched the online banking services with Andrew J. Young, a civil rights activist and former mayor of Atlanta, and Ryan Glover, the founder of the Bounce TV network.
“Today, a dollar circulates for 20 days in the white community but only six hours in the Black community,” Mike said in a press release. “Moreover, a Black person is twice as likely as a white person to be denied a mortgage. This lack of fairness in the financial system is why we created Greenwood.”
Glover added, “It’s no secret that traditional banks have failed the Black and Latinx community. We needed to create a new financial platform that understands our history and our needs going forward, a banking platform built by us and for us, a platform that helps us build a stronger future for our communities. This is our time to take back control of our lives and our financial future. That is why we launched Greenwood, modern banking for the culture.”
Initially, Greenwood is offering savings and spending accounts along with a black metal debit cards for customers who sign up before the end of 2020. Mike and his team’s banking platform is also providing Apple, Samsung and Android pay features, mobile check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers, virtual debit cards and free ATM usage in over 30,000 locations.

Greenwood plans to give back as well by donating five free meals to a family in need per every sign-up of a new customer. Plus, every use of a Greenwood debit card will lead to donations to the United Negro College Fund, Goodr and the NAACP.
Additionally, Greenwood intends to award $10,000 grants to Black or Latinx customers who own small businesses. The grants will allotted on a monthly basis.

Thumbs up to them this will def go a long way
Shut the fuck up asshole
Killer Mike is making major move. ATL stand the fuck up.
props to mike but its 3 million, which is pocket change in the grand sceme of things, banks arent even needed they should be nationalized everyone should be able to get loans at less than 3% not just criminal banksters and millionaires, if ya got a soc sec number u should have a bank fed account at the post office with savings, debit, direcet deposit, bill pay, a deposit only number linked so anyone can add to it etc
and a $50 a day UBI for everyone so citizens arent forced to support or work for criminal originizations as there the only ones hiring and being bailed out
this is LITERALLY segregation… trying to be equal but separate.. its always worked. so can i go in this place? cause from the sound of it i feel like i cant go there based on my race. sounds racist.
Motherfucker I’m Latino. White people came up with that Latinex bullshit. Go fuck yourselves for using that term. Our Latin based languages designate most things as male or female, including inanimate objects. Latinex isn’t something that would even grammatically work in OUR languages. We don’t want that shit. Keep your stupid ass war on reality to yourselves.
THIS RIGHT HERE. Thank you sir.
Stop it Pedro, you’re a Latinx now. Own it you miserable shitbag.
Stop calling us latinx…Latinos don’t use this word and neither should anyone else. Anglos don’t have the right to change a language because they are unwilling to learn the language.
I ain’t offended … a black dude just used the ‘Anglo created’ word too. This is racist though white folks can’t sign up? 2020 the year to let it all hang out …
No one asked you or gives a fuck if your offended pussy lips. If you were a Latino that spoke Spanish or Portuguese you should be, dumb dumb. Keep the woke, bullshit pronoun games to the hot topic, colored haired weirdos that eat to end capitalism yet can’t stay off of Facebook, Instagram and their iPhones. Fuck boy! No one
You sound like an emo gay blm wigger that like to suck cock :/
Facts bro lol every time I hear that latinx shit it shows me that whoever is saying it is out of touch and the actual racist. Thinking your ‘woke’ ass has the right to change someone else’s culture lol riiiiiight
its not racist when you do not include whites, Asians and mixed race in you’re business structure? Black celebrities our more racist then ever!!! Fact!!! Fuck Hip Hop.
or they will rob ya.
Here goes racist ass Killer Cholesterol Mike again. My personal favorite was his trailer for “Triggered” on Netflix which opened up saying “Any business in That isn’t helping black America needs to be burned down now!” That’s a great look. All of this systematic racism yet you’re a multi millionaire and can say some bullshit like that with no repercussions. You can also open a bank that only caters to two of the everlasting ethnicities/ orientations and religions? These are the leaders in the black community? SMH
You notice how the other two guys are wearing suits but fat azz Killer Mike gotta wear so 4xl swap meet t-shirt? Professionalism at its best
Thai will go the route of Russel Simmons credit card.
Im gonna open a bank and cater to the two poorest races in the country of course we will still take there money and cahrge them overdraft fees and make as much money as we can off them but its better then them giving money to white people right?
