Native communities have historically been prevented from accessing traditional paths to wealth in the United States, leading to a wealth gap. For the 2015-2019 period, American Indian and Alaska Native households had a median income of $43,825, which was lower than the overall U.S. median income of $62,843, according to a 2019 U.S. Census Bureau survey.
The goal of many Native American-owned financial institutions is to help close this wealth gap by providing affordable and accessible banking services. Native American-owned institutions are classified as minority depository institutions, which means they are mission-driven to help unbanked and underbanked people in minority groups bolster their financial situations. One way they might do this is by making loans and mortgages easier to access for the minority groups they serve and investing in community development.

For credit unions, the list of Native American-owned credit unions is tracked on the NCUA website.
