Itta Bena, Mississippi is a small, sparsely populated, predominantly Black town in Northern Mississippi that relies exclusively on ATM machines as a primary source of banking. There are banking deserts throughout rural Mississippi. @MississippiAdos

“population 1,828 and likely declining, the four other ATMs sit inside gas stations and charge $5.25 to $7.50 per transaction. So the demand for the most basic financial services at an affordable rate is such that on one or sometimes two days a week, Hope’s ATM runs out of money”
“People need cash in Itta Bena. Between the boarded-up dry cleaner and the fraying remains of an American Legion hall, just one store in the center of town sells food — almost exclusively in boxes, cans or bags — and it does not take credit cards”.
