MetroCorp Hispanic Checking Account.

MetroCorp Bancshares Inc., a Texas community banking organization serving primarily the Asian and Hispanic markets, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, MetroBank, N.A., is introducing its new Matricula Checking account as a service to Mexican nationals in the Houston Metropolitan area.

Allen Brown, president of MetroCorp and chief executive officer of MetroBank, said, “We are delighted to introduce Matricula Checking — a new and innovative product for the Hispanic community. Since we were first approached by the Mexican Consulate several months ago, we have been working diligently together to make this product available. It
directly addresses a significant social issue among local Hispanics. Mexican nationals in our area can now take a great step toward financial freedom — they will have immediate safety and security of their money, and cost-effective, flexible access to their funds. We are excited to be the first bank to make this possible in the Houston area.”
