It’s no surprise that CFED cares about financial access, and our work to promote Bank On is premised on the idea that building assets is infinitely easier with a bank account. The reason why is simple: having free or low-cost access to one’s own money is better than paying to use one’s own money.

Though the concept is simple, it’s sometimes hard to conceptualize just how dramatic the difference between having a bank account and not having a bank account can be. This is why I was so excited to find that my friends at The Sociological Cinema had posted a helpful infographic the other day providing some context about the difficulties of being unbanked. The infographic does an excellent job of visually representing the data, so I’m sharing it with readers here.

I hope you find this infographic helpful. There’s a ton more at The Sociological Cinema, so be sure to follow them on Facebook and check out their photo album on poverty issues.
