Opening a bank account can be one of the most important steps consumers take towards reaching financial goals. FDIC research found that bankable moments, such as receiving a tax refund or stipend, may be the catalyst many unbanked households need to take the first step towards financial inclusion. FDIC invites your government agency, community organization, and others who directly serve consumers to join the #GetBanked movement.
