JPMorgan banking strategy is challenging predatory lenders on their home turf: banking deserts
Briefly

As Diedra Porché, JPMorgan Chase's national head of community and business development, points out, educating the unbanked is just good business. With proper workshops, we see that people want to engage and feel welcomed, attracting their financial assets to the bank.
JP Morgan's community centers represent a shift in approach, providing education on building credit and taking out loans, creating stronger connections with lower-income residents, and turning them into loyal customers.
With plans to open 100 more community center branches in low-income neighborhoods, JP Morgan Chase aims to serve the six million Americans currently unbanked, countering the predatory practices of startups and payday lenders.
Jamie Dimon's attendance at the branch opening reflects a significant commitment by JP Morgan to directly impact wealth-building in underserved areas, a critical initiative that marries corporate interests with community service.
