There is more to be done to advance equity and a just recovery

Black and Hispanic families have considerably less wealth than White families. Data from the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) shows white families have the highest median and mean family wealth levels: $188,200 and $983,400, respectively. Black families' median and mean wealth is less than 15 percent that of White families, at $24,100 and $142,500, respectively. Hispanic families' median and mean wealth is $36,100 and $165,500, respectively.

Financial Health among Communities of Color continues to deteriorate

LMI families spend more on everyday financial services. 

Low-to-Moderate (LMI) households have less than 80% of their respective community's average annual household income. On average, financially vulnerable families spent 13% of their household income on everyday financial services, compared to 5% and 1% for coping and financially healthy households.

OurBanc offers a Solution

We created an inclusive and equitable platform that improves the financial health of our customers. 

Our Approach to the Problem

Our Personal Financial Management application provides our customers with personalized, actionable insights and an easy way to manage spending, savings, and borrowing. We have designed our product to address some immediate challenges in underserved communities. 

To help lower cash withdrawal fees for our members, we have introduced a feature that shows nearby in-network ATMs and stores that allow cash back at the point of purchase for no additional charge. 

To address liquidity constraints and lack of trust, we partner with financial institutions and local community-based organizations to provide our members with cost-effective consumer loans, investment solutions, insurance products, and actionable financial education. 

We will also continue to engage our community members to refine and improve the services offered to meet future needs.

Market Opportunity

The Financial Health Network of America reports that in 2020, LMI households spent $255B, or 13% of their household revenue on fees and interest for everyday financial services. This equates to $1.9 trillion in LMI household income and represents the market opportunity for OurBanc.

Furthermore, over 100 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, representing an estimated US$12 trillion coverage gap. Despite this awareness among consumers, the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association estimate a $12 trillion coverage gap, with about 50% of Millennials planning to purchase coverage within the next year.

Go To Market Strategy

In addition to marketing through social media, local and national news outlets, and community advocates, OurBanc will leverage relationships with community and corporate partners, educational institutions, and public sector entities that are aligned to increase financial inclusion and reduce the racial wealth gap in our country.
