Let these numbers frighten you a little bit:
-6% of U.S. households are unbankable and 18.7% are underbanked
-The payday loan check cashing industry is about $32 billion
-9% of bank account holders pay 84% of the $11 billion in annual overdraft fees
It’s no wonder that overdrafts are the common enemy that financial brands need to vanquish.
In this episode, I speak with Joel Schwartz, Founder & Co-CEO at DoubleCheck Solutions, about the need to give consumers what they need (financial relationships) and what they want (financial flexibility and control):
Join us as we discuss:
- Why overdrafts are such a hot topic at this moment
- It’s customer control that’s the issue, not overdraft fees
- Digital growth opportunities for offering compassion
- Updating old-fashioned mindsets about banking services
- Why doing the right thing is good business
