Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Recently, several large banks have been called out for discriminatory lending practices, including not serving low income areas. For many of those residents, banking services like those offering personal bank accounts, loans for homes and small businesses–can be difficult to access. But some banks in our region, like Industrial Bank, have made their focus serving those communities. We explore what it means to live in a “banking desert.”
