QID:99002 Welcome to the FDIC Survey of Banks' Efforts to Serve the Unbanked & Underbanked.

Public Burden Statement
This survey collects information to fulfill a mandate in Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (Pub. L, 109-173) that the FDIC conduct ongoing surveys and submit periodic reports to Congress on efforts by insured depository institutions to bring unbanked and underbanked individuals into the conventional finance system. The FDIC believes this survey takes an average of 30 minutes per respondent to complete. Send comments regarding the estimate or any other aspect of this form, including suggestions for reducing completion time, to either of the following:

The Office of Management and Budget, OIRA
725 17^th Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20503

Paperwork Clearance Officer, FDIC
550 17^th Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20429

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this study is OMB No. 3064-0158.

How will the identity of my institution be protected?
The FDIC will not receive any information that could potentially identify a specific respondent bank. Contact information is gathered only for the purpose of following up on data collection efforts. Gallup will remove all individual respondent and bank identifying information from the dataset delivered to the FDIC. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, Gallup will destroy all data collected as part of this survey effort. The FDIC or other bank regulators will not be able to link survey responses to individual institutions. The FDIC will release a report containing only aggregate results.

QID:163075 Thank you for recently responding to FDIC's survey. This survey covers the experience and operations of specific retail branches, rather than headquarters, so Gallup and the FDIC would greatly appreciate your response to this survey as well. Please note that many of the questions may seem similar, but it is important to obtain survey responses from both the perspective of the headquarters and the perspective of this specific retail operation.

QID:153393 Automated overdraft coverage – Payment programs that typically (but not always) rely on computerized decision-making and use pre-established criteria to pay or return specific items. There is little to no discretion given to bank employees and no case-by-case bank employee decision-making with respect to an individual customer or item.
Automatic saving – Regular direct deposits into a savings account, regular preauthorized transfers from a checking account into a savings account, or other mechanisms to facilitate regular savings.
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) – The BSA requires U.S. financial institutions to maintain appropriate records and file certain reports involving currency transactions and a financial institution's customer relationships. Also referred to as the “anti-money laundering” law (AML) or jointly as “BSA/AML.”
Basic or entry-level checking account – The FDIC-insured transaction account that has the most basic features and tends to have the lowest minimum balance requirements.
Basic or entry-level savings account – The FDIC-insured deposit account that tends to have the lowest minimum balance requirements.
Card-based (electronic) account – An FDIC-insured transactional deposit account that offers depositors a network-branded plastic card to use for purchases and bill payments and allows for withdrawals and deposit of funds at ATMs. Paper checks are typically not allowed or, if allowed, their use is limited.
ChexSystems – A commercial deposit account verification service that financial institutions may use to assess applicants’ account history and the potential risk of allowing those applicants to open new accounts.
Consumer deposit account – Any deposit (e.g., checking or savings) account used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
Conventional checking account – Conventional checking accounts include regular checking accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, demand deposit accounts (DDA), and money market deposit account (MMDA).

Domestic remittances – Transfers of funds within the U.S., typically used by customers who send a portion of their earnings to family members.
Established customer – An individual who has had a deposit account at the institution for more than 30 calendar days.

Network-branded reloadable prepaid cards – Reloadable cards that are branded with a payment network logo (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) and that can generally be used at any merchant or ATM that accepts cards issued on the payment network. These card accounts are not linked to a deposit account.
Non-customer – An individual who does not have a deposit account or credit relationship with your bank.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) fee – A fee charged when there are not sufficient funds in a customer’s account to cover a check or other payment.

On-us – A check presented for payment at the same institution on which the check is drawn.
Patriot Act – The Patriot Act was signed into law on October 26, 2001, and Title III of the Act requires banks to establish a Customer Identification Program.
Payday lenders – Provider of payday loans. Payday loans (also known as deferred deposit advances) are a type of small-dollar, short-term, unsecured loan in exchange for a post-dated check or automated debit, usually dated at the time of the borrower’s next paycheck or regular income payment. The APR on these loans is typically very high.
Regulation CC – A regulation governing the availability of funds deposited in checking accounts and the collection and return of checks.
Specialized savings clubs – Also called Club Accounts, such as holiday or vacation club accounts.
Unbanked – Individuals who do not have a deposit account with a depository institution (a commercial bank, savings institution, or credit union) or a transaction account with a money market mutual fund or brokerage firm.
