    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says the number of Americans who do not have a bank account fell to a record low of approximately 6.5 percent last year. That is down from 7 percent in 2015 and from a high of 8.2 percent in 2011. http://apne.ws/AYuBHZT

        Because it's becoming more and more difficult to avoid getting one. My job won't pay me without a bank account.

        It’s nearly impossible to function in today’s society without one. Most employers won’t give you a paper check anymore.

        Maybe this explains the proliferation of mattress stores

        Unfortunately, some people still don’t know they have one because @WellsFargo opened one up without telling them.

        If this only includes traditional banks, I hope it drops further. Much better to have an account with a credit union.

        I'm a teller and the number of people who've had accounts for 40 yrs and try to withdraw $$ without ID is astounding. Just cuz they have an account doesn't mean they have proper ID. This article doesn't necessarily mean that 93.5% of people have valid gov't ID for voting 🤷‍♀️
