And where are you getting this info to make the statement you did?
Twenty-five percent of U.S. households are unbanked or underbanked, according to
a 2017 survey by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Those are people who either don't have a bank account, or have an account, but still use financial services outside the banking system like payday loans to make ends meet.
Why are the numbers so high?
More than half of unbanked households cited not having enough money to keep in an account, 30 percent said they don't trust banks and 9 percent reported banks are in an inconvenient location, according to the survey. Between 2014 and 2018, 1,915 more branches in lower-income areas
closed than were opened, according to data from S&P Global.

The majority of the unbanked and underbanked are American-born while a growing number are immigrants where the two groups have low income as a commonality and lack the minimum balance to open checking and savings accounts.

That’s seven percent of all Americans, but it represents 18.7% of families earning under $30,000, compared to only 1.1% of families earning over $50,000. Eighteen percent of African-Americans are unbanked, compared to only 3% of whites.
