USBC Unveils New Bank Card
 
Washington, DC- As the number of black-owned banks are decreasing, USBC has focused it's efforts on supporting black-owned banks by encouraging Black entrepreneurs to Bank-Black. Previously USBC led members of The Black Male Entrepreneurship Institute to collectively open bank accounts at Washington, DC's historic black-owned Industrial Bank. Most recently USBC has partnered with one of the nation's oldest black banks-- Liberty Bank & Trust to create a new bank card. This unique bank card offers Black business owners access to:
  • Establish and/or rebuild credit + financial literacy
  • Interest rates as low as 9.96% (for qualified borrowers)
  • Credit limits from $1,000 - $10,000
  • Auto rental insurance
