If you don’t have safe access to a bank account of your own, you’re not alone. According to the Federal Reserve, over 63 million Americans were unbanked or underbanked in 2020. Opening a bank account can feel like a daunting task, especially if you have concerns about your safety and eligibility. If you don’t have safe access to a home mailing address, your ID card, identifying documents,or transportation, we want you to know there may still be banking options that will work for you.
