The Bank On Baton Rouge initiative was designed to bring the financial benefits of being
able to participate in the financial mainstream to people in the Baton Rouge community
who are relying on expensive alternative methods of financial services.
Across the country, low-income families lose millions of dollars on predatory lenders
and alternative financial services which has had a tremendous negative impact on the
local economy and the community’s well-being.
The Bank On Baton Rouge partners have come together to bring no-cost or low-cost mainstream
financial services to members of the community who wish to take advantage of the
money-saving and credit-building opportunities offered by credit unions and banks.
Each of the Bank On partners have accounts designed to help people develop
a positive banking relationship with access to savings accounts, checking
accounts and opportunities to build a beneficial financial history to open
doors for low-interest loans and services.
Another benefit of Bank On Baton Rouge is the opportunity to participate in financial
workshops which are free and open to the community while being designed to share
information all consumers need to make more of their money and to build credit.
Please call your credit union or bank of choice to learn more about their program
and opportunities for you to benefit from the financial mainstream.
