40) Summary: Why Being "Banked" Matters

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bf5g@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Simple Dollar

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 23 October

Query:

The FDIC posted findings from their "How America Banks" survey
-- "Nearly 95 percent of U.S. households (approximately 124
million households) were banked (i.e., had a bank or credit
union account). This is the highest number and percentage of
households with bank accounts since the survey was first
conducted in 2009."
https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/household-survey/

Why is it important to be banked? How do the habits of "banked"
people differ from those who aren't? Maybe something like, "top
financial activities the banked household did in 2019."

The survey also said, "roughly one-quarter of households with
less than $15,000 in income were unbanked, and the unbanked rate
among unemployed households was almost four times as high as the
unbanked rate among employed households."

Why are low-income households less likely to be banked and what
are the repercussions of that?

Why are more people banked now than ever? Why is that a good
thing for the economy, etc?
