Hope Credit Union Rolls Out Banking App Aimed at Underbanked

Mississippi institution says remote deposit checking feature particularly important in areas with sparse brick and mortar options.

By David Morrison | Updated on January 24, 2013

The 28,000-member, $161 million Hope Credit Union in Jackson, Miss., has rolled out a mobile banking app that it hopes will help expand banking services into even more of the largely unbanked and underbanked Mississippi Delta region.

The new app has versions for both Android and iOS phones and will allow members to check account balances, transaction histories, transfer money between accounts and make deposits via their phones. This feature, in particular, will make the credit union far more accessible to people who may live far from a credit union branch or deposit-taking ATM.
