Get Financial Predators Out of Banking

Join tens of thousands of activists and take a stand against the outrageous fees and practices of financial predators who are raking in $103 billion a year by targeting some of the most vulnerable Americans.

Nearly 28% of U.S. households are underserved or completely denied service by traditional banks and are forced to turn to payday lenders, check cashing operations and other shady operators. These families spend, on average, nearly 10 percent of their income on fees and services because these disreputable lenders charge triple digit interest rates and outrageous fees for basic financial services.

There is an alternative – postal banking. Under this system, used by many countries, the U.S. Postal Service would provide affordable, nonprofit, consumer-driven financial services ranging from paycheck cashing and bill payment to savings accounts and small dollar loans at its more than 30,000 branches.

There's been a groundswell of support for this plan, with nearly 100,000 signatures on a petition calling on the Postmaster General to make postal banking a reality. National People's Action alone collected 67,000 signatures; the Campaign for America's Future and 20 other allies are working to make postal banking a reality.

Join the fight to give working people the access they need to affordable financial services and safe, affordable credit. For those without access to traditional banks as well as those looking for an alternative to the Big Banks, postal banking is a real solution that serves the public, not Wall Street.
