The Unbanked and Underbanked markets in the US continue to grow in importance. Unbanked customers have neither a checking account nor a savings account. Underbanked customers may have an account, but rely primarily on Alternative Financial Services such as check-cashing storefronts and pre-paid cards to manage their finances.
