Georgian Credit Deserts

Bank Closures and the Relocation of Branches to the Suburbs Have Caused a Lack of Mainstream, Beneficial Financial Services in Poor and Minority Communities

Did you know:

The 1977 Community Reinvestment Act Does NOT Require that Banks Operate in Poor and Minority Communities As It Was Regulatorily Mandated to Do
Poor and Minority Communities Primarily Rely on Non-Bank Financial Services to Help Meet Their Financial Needs
Even Before the Conoravirus Pandemic, Poor and Minority Communities Did NOT Have Enough Saving to Address a Short-Term Emergency
It is Critical to Mainsteam, Beneficial Financial Services Available to These Communities in Times of Need
