What do an undocumented immigrant in the South Bronx, a high-net-worth entrepreneur, and a twenty-something graduate student have in common? All three are victims of our dysfunctional mainstream banking and credit system. Today nearly half of all Americans live from paycheck to paycheck, and income volatility has doubled over the past thirty years. Banks, with their high monthly fees and overdraft charges, are gouging their low- and middle-income customers while serving only the wealthiest Americans. Lisa Servon delivers a stunning indictment of America's banks, together with eye-opening dispatches from inside a range of banking alternatives that have sprung up to fill the void. She works as a teller at RiteCheck, a check-cashing business in the South Bronx, and as a payday lender in Oakland. She looks closely at the workings of a tanda, an informal lending club. And she delivers engaging, hopeful portraits of the entrepreneurs reacting to the unbanking of America by designing systems to creatively serve many of us."--Dust jacket. 0aBanks and bankingzUnited States. 0aFinancial institutionszUnited States. 4aBancos y bancazEstados Unidos9856 4aInstituciones financieras96546zEstados Unidos   a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2023-05-17l0oHG 2491 S492u 2017p00000169936r2023-05-17 00:00:00t1w2023-05-17yBK
