More Latinx-majority Better Banking Options
A companion piece to our list of Latinx banks, here are some Better Banking Options that make an effort to work in Latinx communities. They’re all MCUs and are listed below with their headquarters location (we’ve highlighted our favorites based on how they score in our metric). Because credit unions usually have eligibility requirements, we’d recommend looking at the credit unions in your area first and checking eligibility on their website. If none of these are in your geographic area, check our list of Latinx Banks for other options.
