The bank’s name is derived from the Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In the early 1900s, this space turned regarded as Black Wall Road because it was home to a thriving group of wealthy Black entrepreneurs. The group was ultimately burned down by an angry white mob in 1921. But in accordance to the rapper, the aim of the Greenwood financial institutions is to revive the spirit of the Oklahoma neighborhood by generating a truthful playing discipline for Black and Brown citizens. 

“Right now, a greenback circulates for 20 times in the white group but only 6 hrs in the Black neighborhood,” the Operate The Jewels member stated in a push release. “What’s more, a Black particular person is twice as likely as a white particular person to be denied a mortgage loan. This deficiency of fairness in the economical technique is why we established Greenwood.”

“It’s no solution that common financial institutions have failed the Black and Latinx neighborhood,” Glover added. “We needed to develop a new fiscal platform that understands our background and our demands heading forward, a banking system designed by us and for us, a system that assists us create a more powerful future for our communities. This is our time to choose back again manage of our lives and our money long term.”
