A little over 25 percent of the population is unbanked or underbanked, according to the last count two years ago. Is that number going up or down?

Long read but good read.  Interesting too that the banked is going down to a certain degree due to all the fee’s a bank charges now. They make it difficult and act like consumers have no choice.  I myself only use banks as secondary diversification option.
