Meet Dr. Benaisha Poole-Watson, a U.S. Air Force veteran and the owner of the only Black woman-owned financial institutions in the country. And now, she’s using her influence to bridge the gap between Black Americans and African land ownership.
Standing before a group of diaspora investors, Dr. Poole-Watson shared her mission: to make African real estate accessible without the red tape of traditional U.S. banking systems. Through her international lending group, @centralonelendinggroup , she offers real estate loans across the entire continent of Africa, with a special focus on Ghana—and over 120 other countries, including the Caribbean, Central & South America, and parts of Europe.
Here’s the game-changer: ✅ No credit check required ✅ Interest rates as low as 7%–14% (compared to international rates up to 35%) ✅ Loan terms from 2 years up to 30-year fixed ✅ Monthly payments made directly to her bank, just like in the U.S.
To qualify, you must: 🔹 Be a U.S. citizen 🔹 Have a history of real estate ownership (past or present) to prove payment responsibility
Whether you’re buying, building, or developing land—Dr. Poole-Watson can help.
“You don’t see any other bank owners coming down and talking to people” she told the crowd. “The truth is my program is designed to help our people achieve ownership.”
“It is a movement right now. Prices will increase as people continue to migrate and things will definitely change. So right now is the time to integrate yourselves, get involved and seek the other side.”
