More People “Shun the Bank” — But You Can Get, and Offer, Those Services Through AVPS

The Growing Trend of Avoiding Traditional Banks

As originally reported in the Wall Street Journal, then picked up in Forbes’ round-up of credit card news, more and more people are “shunning” banks altogether, with upwards of 8 percent of the population managing their financial solutions without alternative banks at all, and another 24 million categorized as “underbanked,” meaning there’s some use of nominal bank services, but mostly they’re making due with (expensive!) payday loans, prepaid cards, etc.

Response of Traditional Banks and Its Consequences

Traditional banks, according to the article, have noticed, and some banks have “added fees” in response. Which, of course, may have the effect of driving more people out of traditional banking.
