financial education and financial
literacy outreach?’’
‘‘(B) Which financial education efforts
appear to be the most effective in
bringing ‘unbanked’ individuals and
families into the conventional finance
system?’’
‘‘(C) What efforts are insured
institutions making at converting
‘unbanked’ money order, wire transfer,
and international remittance customers
into conventional account holders?’’
‘‘(D) What cultural, language and
identification issues as well as
transaction costs appear to most prevent
‘unbanked’ individuals from
establishing conventional accounts?’’
‘‘(E) What is a fair estimate of the size
and worth of the ‘unbanked’ market in
the United States?’’
In connection with these mandated
objectives, the FDIC seeks to identify
and quantify the extent to which
institutions serve the needs of the
unbanked and underbanked; identify
the characteristics of institutions that
are reaching out to and serving the
unbanked and underbanked; identify
efforts (for example, practices,
programs, alliances) of institutions to
serve the unbanked and underbanked;
and identify potential barriers that affect
the ability of institutions to serve the
unbanked and underbanked.
In its inaugural survey effort, the first
of its kind to be conducted at the
national level, the FDIC conducted a
two-pronged survey—a sample survey
of FDIC-insured depository institutions
and a limited number of case studies of
FDIC-insured depository institutions
that were employing innovative
methods to serve unbanked and
underbanked populations. The results of
the initial survey effort, which were
released in February 2009, showed that
while most banks were aware of
significant unbanked and underbanked
populations in their areas, more could
be done to reach out to these important
markets. A copy of the survey findings
can be accessed at the following link:
https://www.fdic.gov/unbankedsurveys/.
In this second Bank Survey, the FDIC
proposes to survey FDIC-insured
depository institutions at the
headquarters and branch office level on
their efforts to meet the needs of
underserved populations. By so doing,
the survey will provide insights into
relevant headquarter strategies as well
as offerings at the branch level. This
approach will also enable the FDIC to
analyze survey results by bank size class
as well as by geographic location,
including the potential to identify
differentiated efforts of branch offices
located in low to-moderate income
areas.

Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collection; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the information collection on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The FDIC will consider all comments to
determine the extent to which the
proposed information collection should
be modified prior to submission to OMB
for review and approval. After the
comment period closes, comments will
be summarized or included in the
FDIC’s request to OMB for approval of
the collection. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
