SAN DIEGO -- The only Latino bank in San Diego County officially opened its doors this week in Chula Vista, reports the Spanish-language newspaper Enlace. The bank offers loans, checking and savings accounts in a bilingual and bicultural setting. Financed largely by Latinos, Vibra Bank aims to finance new businesses and offer "Mexican-style" service, with close relationships between bankers and their clients. David Bejarano, a former San Diego police chief and one of the bank's founders, said the bank hopes to invest in the community, including nonprofit organizations and local public service agencies. "We're open to all consumers," he said. "But it's aimed at the Latino community." Accounts can be opened using a Mexican passport or matrÃ*cula consular, a form of identification issued by the Mexican consulate.

I don't think they'll last too long since a lot of illegals are leaving. Do you think the fed would bail them out

What is "Mexican-style" service????

[jonhaloi]

They have free panuellos and gorditas for the customers instead of donuts and cookies.

Chula Vista is just minutes away from Mexico, the locals call it Chula Juana.

I wonder what "Mexican-style" service means? Maybe "dont-ask, dont tell" if you are here illegally? All they need are Mexican matricular cards or a Mexican passport to open accounts and borrow money. THIS BANK WILL BE IN THE CRAPPER REAL SOON.

Did our Central Bank, or whoever it is that allows charters for banks in the US, approve this? ARE THE DEPOSITS INSURED BY THE FDIC??? Is this bank following US banking compliance laws??? Are they going to report cash transactions of $10K and over to the Feds???

This bank is going to end up catering to the Mexican drug cartels. It is going to wash their money for them. BETCHA!!!

BB, I think "mexican-style" means fake or stolen SS#s are OK. ITINs too. Oh, and yes, forged IDs, etc. With mariachi music in the background.
