Morris Plan Bank to Open in San Antonio
The Morris Plan bank will open in San Antonio, bringing its loan and savings services to the community. The announcement outlines the basic ideals of the Morris Plan and explains its potential impact for local residents seeking financial assistance and sound savings options.
Morris Plan banks bring small loans nation wide in US
The Morris Plan banks provide short term loans to working people with modest incomes without heavy collateral. Originating in 1911 by Morris of Norfolk, the network grew to ninety four cities including San Antonio, financed by the Industrial Finance Corporation of New York City. Loans are six percent interest for one year repaid weekly, based on income, character, and guarantors, and aim to encourage thrift and steady credit without competing with large commercial banks.
