Hispanic American–owned banks, of which there are 30, comprise the second largest group of minority depository institutions (MDIs) recognized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), second only to the 71 Asian American–owned banks, as of the second quarter of 2024. These two MDI categories are also the only ones to have banks that are headquartered in U.S. island territories.
This article uses the term “Hispanic American–owned” in the broad sense in which we have used it for Black-owned, Asian American–owned, and Native American–owned banks, recognizing that stockholders own for-profit banks. What’s more, although Investopedia prefers the identifier “Latinx,” this article uses the term “Hispanic America” to identify these institutions because that is how the FDIC’s data identifies them. Note in addition that although some sources referenced in this article use Hispanic and Latino interchangeably to refer to one group, these terms are not synonymous.
Key Takeaways
- There are 30 Hispanic American–owned banks in the United States as of Q2 2024. Collectively, these institutions have approximately $145.8 billion in assets.
- Also as of Q2 2024, 51% of the voting stock for 15 of the 30 Hispanic American–owned banks is owned by Hispanic American individuals, and 15 have a majority of Hispanic American directors on their boards and serve communities that are predominantly Hispanic American.
- Banco Popular de Puerto Rico is the largest Hispanic American–owned bank in the U.S., as of Q2 2024, with $58.3 billion in total assets.
What Is a Minority Depository Institution?
As of the second quarter of 2024, there were 4,539 commercial banks and savings institutions insured by the FDIC in the United States. A financial institution will only be considered an MDI by the FDIC if it is a “federal insured depository institution for which (1) 51% or more of the voting stock is owned by minority individuals; or (2) a majority of the Board of Directors is minority and the community that the institution serves is predominantly minority. Ownership must be by U.S. citizens or permanent legal U.S. residents to be counted in determining minority ownership.” In 2021 the Fed expanded this definition to include women-owned financial institutions. The 30 Hispanic American–owned banks divide evenly into the two categories, with 15 in each.
As of 2024 there is no comprehensive listing of every Hispanic American–owned credit union in the U.S. The Juntos Avanzamos credit union designation program has identified 132 member-owned lending institutions across 30 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico that focus on the financial needs of Hispanic Americans and immigrants. However, this designation doesn’t guarantee that the organization in question is a Hispanic American–owned credit union.
Why Hispanic American–Owned Banks Are Important
It’s no secret that having access to a reliable financial institution is crucial for an individual’s financial well-being. Outside of offering savings accounts, banks also typically provide the means of financing larger purchases, such as by offering loans or issuing credit cards. Some even offer wealth management services as well as investment opportunities, including retirement plans, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs). These benefits could explain why, according to a 2021 FDIC survey (its most recent), only 4.5% of U.S. households were unbanked—the lowest level in the survey’s history. Interestingly, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System put that figure at 6% for 2022 and said the figure was “unchanged from 2021.” Apparently, the government disagrees with itself.
However, this doesn’t mean that banking is equally accessible to all Americans. The same FDIC report found that 9.3% of Hispanic households were unbanked. While that number has been decreasing over time, it’s a considerably higher rate than the 2.1% of White households and only second lowest to the 11.3% of Black households. And this doesn’t mean that the remaining 90.7% of Hispanic households were being adequately served. The 2021 FDIC survey found that 24.1% of Hispanic households were underbanked, compared with only 9.3% of White Americans.
This can get even more complicated when you take immigration status into account, which isn’t helped by how little contemporary research there is in this area. A 2010 study found that up to 50% of recent Hispanic immigrants were underbanked. This is just taking documented immigrants into account, as undocumented immigrants may be understandably reluctant to self-report, though a 2016 snowball sampling found that 81% of participants were underbanked as well.
As of the third quarter of 2024, Hispanic workers also have the lowest median weekly income when compared with Black, White, and Asian individuals, while reports as recent as 2016 have shown that immigration status and poverty are often closely associated. Having a bank account has been cited as a critical step in escaping poverty, so why do so many people remain unbanked or underbanked?
According to our research, one of the most commonly cited reasons is not having enough funds to meet minimum balance requirements. In the case of immigrants, a 2011 report found that they typically face language barriers, political pressure, financial literacy problems, and, for undocumented immigrants, concerns of government identification.
Ergo, financial institutions that work with, are operated by, and understand the particular economic situations of both native- and foreign-born Hispanic Americans are naturally going to be better able to tackle these challenges.
