Policymakers should consider these factors when designing policies aimed at increasing financial inclusion.

The strong majority of individuals that do not currently have a bank account are out of the banking population, and their reasons tend to not be only related to financial factors.

By contrast, the out of banking population cites a growing mistrust toward the traditional banking system, and more so over time. They also make up 3.2 percent of banking-age Americans.

The out of banking population is also more likely to have never been banked and to not have been banked recently.

Using FDIC data, we estimate an approximation of both newly-defined groups.

The redefined unbanked are 1.3% of the banking population and mostly cite financial and past credit or banking history problems as reasons for not having a bank account.
