Abstract: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of a new information collection entitled “Survey of Household Use of Banking and Financial Services” (“Household Survey”). This survey was previously named the FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households and was approved under OMB Control No. 3064-0167 (the “Predecessor Surveys”). The Household Survey and the Predecessor Surveys are hereinafter referred to as the “Financial Services Household Survey.” The Financial Services Household Survey is a key component of the FDIC’s efforts to comply with a Congressional mandate that the FDIC conduct biennial surveys to provide “a fair estimate of the size and worth of the unbanked market in the United States” and to answer additional related questions. The Financial Services Household Survey is the only nationally- and state-representative survey of this type for the United States.

Short Statement: The Financial Services Household Survey is a key component of the FDIC’s efforts to comply with a Congressional mandate codified in section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (“the Act”), Pub. L. 109-173, which requires the FDIC to conduct biennial surveys on “efforts by insured financial institutions to bring those individuals and families who have rarely, if ever, held a checking account, a savings account, or other type of transaction or check cashing account at an insured depository institution (the “unbanked”) into the conventional finance system.” The mandate further requires the FDIC to estimate the size and worth of the unbanked market in the United States and to identify the cultural, language and identification issues and transaction costs that prevent unbanked individuals from establishing conventional accounts
