Public policies to alter use of alternative financial services
The term “fringe banking” refers to financial services offered by companies outside the mainstream banking industry. These can include check-cashing firms, payday lenders and even pawnbrokers. In part because nearly 10 percent of U.S. families don’t have a bank account, such firms offer are a wide array of services. Customers, often minorities or military personnel, can cash checks, wire money and pay utility bills, often at a location near their homes.
