2025 Bank On National Conference
Today at the 2025 Bank On National Conference, over 200 partners from across the banking access field gathered to celebrate movement progress, marking ten years since the start of the movement. The conference featured a keynote address by Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Senior Deputy Comptroller for Bank Supervision Policy Grovetta N. Gardineer. There are now over 500 Bank On nationally certified accounts, offered by banks and credit unions representing more than two-thirds of the domestic deposit market. Federal and state agencies from the FDIC to the Internal Revenue Service to state Departments of Labor are pointing consumers to Bank On accounts to receive payments, as are local programs across the country. There are nearly 100 local Bank On coalitions working to advance this national movement, including an increasing number of statewide coalitions. Check out the Conference agenda here.
