Meet the Formerly Incarcerated Woman Who Became the Lady Who Bought the Bank

Despite Latunya Wright having been incarcerated for more than four years in federal prison for her part in a multi-million dollar heist at an ATM servicing company, her journey to becoming "The Lady Who Bought the Bank" is nothing short of remarkable. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she faced significant challenges early in life. At just five years old, she lost her father, a retired military man and business owner, under tragic circumstances.

The trauma didn’t stop there; at nine, she endured abuse from a family member, and by fourteen, she was diagnosed with epilepsy. These adversities could have easily derailed her life, but Latunya had a resilience that would become the cornerstone of her success. Today, she stands as the proud owner of Wright Financial Bank, a symbol of her triumph over adversity.

By the age of fourteen, Latunya was already displaying an entrepreneurial spirit. She lied about her age to secure a job at McDonald's, working after school to support herself.

The following year, she was offered a summer program with the Urban League, where she excelled and was given an office desk, an uncommon opportunity for someone her age. Her quick learning and determination caught the attention of her superiors, setting the stage for her future endeavors.

However, her path was not without obstacles. At a young age, Latunya found herself on the wrong side of the law, making decisions that would haunt her for years. Eventually, these choices led to her incarceration—a pivotal moment in her life that would change her forever.
