The Unbanked Phenomenon
10% to 20% of all American households are unbanked
40% among low income households
60% among low income and black households
Unbanked households:
Are at the mercy of “fringe banks”
Face savings deficit
Are more exposed to behavioral biases

The Unbanked Phenomenon
``The fact that these families often rely on informal means to manage
their financial lives suggests that the formal sector is not meeting their
needs"

Competiting Reasons for Being Unbanked
“Demand-side”
Cultural determinants
Distrust financial institutions
Lack “culture of saving”
Low financial literacy
“Supply-side” (bank practises)?
Fewer branches in disadvantaged neighborhood
Minimum account balance to open an account
High overdraft fees

What We Do
Hypothesis: Bank practices partially account for the high share
of unbanked households
Identication Strategy: competitive shock on banks to assess
the role of supply
Shock: changes in interstate branching regulation in the U.S.
after 1994

Data
Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), 1993 -2010
20,000 to 30,000 households per wave, 15 waves
410,678 households residing in 45 states
Focus on low income households (< 200% poverty line)

The Shock: Interstate Branching Deregulation
The adoption of the IBBEA in 1994 allowed the entry of out-of-
state bank branches
BUT states had the right to erect 4 possible restrictions to
out-of-state entry
Deregulation index = 4 – number of barriers
0 = fully regulated
4 = fully deregulated
57 episodes of deregulation in 43 different states between 1994
and 2005

Is the Effect stronger for Households that are More Likely to be Rationed?
Black households in states with a history of discrimination
Four proxies for black discrimination preferences
Poor households
Households living in rural areas
Educated households

Alternative story: demand effect?
Deregulation fosters growth and employment: participation
could be a “collateral benefit“
BUT:
Control for a lot of socio-economic and macro variables
Does not appear fully consistent with results in cross section
of households (education)
Add finer macro economics variables specific to black and
poor households
Find no difference between households who are more or less
likely to be unemployed

Take Away
Supply-side factors contribute to the unbanked phenomenon
Increase in banking competition
Eases access to banking services for low income households
Particularly for black households in states with a history of
discrimination
Which improves asset accumulation
And does not appear to be driven by increased demand
Policy Implication: Can ``demand intervention" (financial
literacy program) be enough? How to modify banks'
incentives?
