During this time, a safe, affordable and productive banking account is more important than ever – and the data continues to show that Bank On accounts are attracting new customers to the financial mainstream.

Making the Case for Banking Access: Talking to Unbanked People about Bank Accounts
This report, Making the Case for Banking Access: Talking to Unbanked People About Bank Accounts, explores effective messages for communicating with those who are unbanked about the value of safe accounts. The CFE Fund commissioned strategic communications firm RALLY and polling research firm PSB to field a multi-city series of focus groups and surveys to uncover what types of messaging would most effectively move unbanked people to open accounts; a subset of the research focused on the financial attitudes, habits, and goals of unbanked people, as well as on Spanish-speaking unbanked people and how messages might best engage them to open accounts.
