2013 FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households • October 2014

143

The data for this report were collected through a
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-sponsored Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement to the
Current Population Survey (CPS) for June 2013. The
CPS is a monthly survey of about 54,000 interviewed
households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The survey is
based on a scientific sample that “represents” the U.S.
civilian, non-institutionalized population, aged 15 or
older.
The CPS is the primary source of information on the
labor force characteristics of the U.S. population,
including employment, unemployment, and earnings
statistics. The CPS results include a variety of demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, race, marital
status, and educational attainment. Additional information about the CPS is provided in the Census
Bureau’s Technical Paper 66, Design and Methodology of the CPS, available at http://www.census.gov/
cps/.
The CPS is a state-based design in that separate
samples are selected from each state, so that states
serve as the primary sampling strata. The sample
sizes for each state are set so that specific precision
requirements for estimating unemployment rates will
be met.1 The sample design ensures that most of the
households in a given state have the same probability
of being selected, though in general, household selection probabilities will vary across states. Because the
CPS design is state-based, most of the estimates for
the Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement should be
precise at the state level and for some sub-state areas
(e.g., large metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs)).

2013 survey instrument is largely similar to the 2011
and 2009 survey instruments.  The 2009 instrument
was developed with the expertise of a national
consulting firm, which specializes in public opinion
research, as well as input from the Census Bureau’s
Demographic Surveys Division and BLS. The 2009
survey instrument underwent four rounds of cognitive field pre-testing and was revised to address the
feedback gathered from each round.2 The questionnaire was revised in 2011 and 2013. For the 2013
survey, the U.S. Census Bureau conducted two
rounds of cognitive testing. For a detailed description of the most recent revisions, see Appendix J
(2013 Revisions to the FDIC National Survey of
Unbanked and Underbanked Households). Because
of changes in the questionnaire, direct comparisons
between 2013 and prior year estimates are not possible in some cases.3
Eligibility and Exclusions
All households that participated in the June 2013 CPS
were eligible to participate in the Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement. However, only households
whose respondents specified that they had some level
of participation in their household finances and also
responded “Yes” or “No” to whether someone in
their household had a bank account (survey supplement Question 2, or Q2) were considered survey
respondents.4 CPS household respondents who did
not answer or answered “don’t know” to Q2, or who
did not participate in their household financial decisions (or refused to answer) were asked no further

Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement
The Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement was
conducted in June 2013. This was third time this
survey had been conducted; the first and second
supplements were conducted in January 2009 and
June 2011, respectively. The primary purpose of the
supplement is to estimate the percentage of U.S.
households that are “unbanked” and “underbanked”
and to identify the reasons why.
The supplement survey instrument used in 2013,
attached as Appendix K, included approximately 50
questions designed to provide this information. The
The precision targets that are the basis for the sample design of the
CPS are provided on pp.3–1 in Chapter 3 of the U.S. Census Bureau’s
Technical Paper 66, available at http://www.census.gov/prod/2006pubs/
tp-66.pdf.
1	

The goal of each round was to determine respondents’ comprehension
of each question, test the flow of the questions, find major recall difficulties, ascertain the sensitivity or inappropriateness of any questions, and
gauge the operational feasibility of the supplement. No changes to the
survey were recommended following the fourth round of testing.
3	
Comparability of 2013 estimates to prior years may also be affected by
changes to estimated population counts, most importantly the change in
base population from Census 2000 to Census 2010. For more detail, see
the Census Documentation “Adjustments to Household Survey Population
Estimates in 2012”, available at http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps12adj.pdf.
4	
Respondents involved in their household finances include respondents
in households where adults have separate finances or in households
where the respondent was the only adult in the household. For households where adults share finances or have a mix of shared and separate
finances, respondents were asked to specify how much they participated
in their household financial decisions. Only those who reported having at
least some level of participation were considered to be involved in their
household finances.

questions and were classified as nonrespondents for
the supplement.5
Demographic characteristics, such as race, age,
education, and employment, associated with a
respondent household for the supplement are generally those reported for the householder/reference
person (i.e., a person who owns or rents the home, as
designated by the respondent). These demographic
characteristics were used in preparing report estimates and tables.6
Coverage and Response Rates
The target universe for the CPS is all civilian non-institutionalized persons (aged 15 or older) residing in
the 50 states and the District of Columbia. To reach
this universe, a list (sampling frame) of about 110
million households was developed from the Master
Address File used for the 2000 Census, plus three
additional frame sources (group quarters, area
canvassing, and building permits).
For the June 2013 CPS, a statistical sample of 59,531
survey-eligible households was selected from the
sampling frame. Of these, 53,405 households participated in the CPS, resulting in a nearly 90 percent
response rate. There were 6,126 nonrespondent
households. Most of these nonrespondents either
refused to participate (63 percent of nonrespondents)
or were not home at the time of the interview visit or
call (21 percent). The remaining 16 percent consisted
of households where (a) the household respondent
was temporarily absent, (b) the household could not
be located, (c) language barriers prevented the interview, or (d) “other” reasons. Because of the availability of translators for many languages, only 0.4 percent
of the nonrespondents (22 households) did not
participate as a result of language barriers.
Coverage ratios for the CPS are derived as a measure
of the percentage of persons in the target universe
(civilian non-institutionalized persons aged 15 or
This definition of supplement respondent is the same as the one used in
the 2011 FDIC Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households report,
which published new estimates for survey year 2011 and revised estimates for survey year 2009. In the initial survey report based on 2009
data, estimates were produced using a slightly different definition of a
supplement respondent. The change in definition did not have a material
impact on the estimates. See the technical notes to the 2011 report for
more details.

In a few cases, the householder/reference person is classified as an
ineligible respondent for the CPS, but another eligible household resident
participated in the CPS and in the Unbanked/Underbanked supplement. In
these cases we use the attributes of the eligible respondent to characterize the household.

older in the United States) that are included in the
sampling frame.7 The overall coverage ratio for the
June 2013 CPS was 86 percent. The missing 14
percent consists of three groups: (1) persons residing
in households that are not in the CPS sampling
frame, (2) non-institutionalized persons not residing
in households at the time the CPS was conducted,
and (3) household residents that were not listed as
household members for the CPS for various reasons.
The coverage ratios varied across demographic
groups. For example, among women ages 15 and
older, the coverage ratio was 89 percent for whites, 82
percent for blacks, and 86 percent for Hispanics.
Of the 53,405 households participating in the CPS,
40,998 (77 percent) also participated in the
Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement.8 The supplement survey response rates vary by demographic
groups, ranging from 73 percent to 79 percent.
The weights calculated by the Census Bureau for the
CPS and the Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement
respondents were adjusted to account for both nonresponse and undercoverage. These weight adjustments
help correct any biases in estimates because of nonresponse and undercoverage, so that results from the
CPS are “representative” of the civilian, non-institutionalized U.S. population, aged 15 and older.9
Analysis of Supplement Survey Results
Using supplement survey results, households were
classified as “unbanked” if they answered “no” to the
question, “Do you or does anyone in your household
currently have a checking or savings account?”
Households answering “yes” to this question were
classified as “underbanked” if they indicated that they
had used any of the following alternative financial
services at least once in the last 12 months: nonbank
money orders, nonbank check-cashing services,
nonbank remittances, payday loans, rent-to-own
services, pawn shops, refund anticipation loans, or
auto-title loans. Note that the 2013 definition of
The coverage ratio is the weighted number of persons in a demographic group (after weights are adjusted to account for household
nonresponse) divided by an independent count of persons in that demographic group (obtained from the 2000 Census with updates based on the
American Community Survey).
8	
Taking into account the nonresponse to the base CPS, the overall
response rate for the Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement was 69
percent.
9	
This adjustment is done by introducing three stages of ratio estimation
that adjust weights to align with population control totals (independent
population estimates for various demographic groups). The household
weight is generally taken to be the weight of the householder/reference
person.

“underbanked” has been revised from the 2011 definition to include households who used auto-title
loans in the last year. Consequently, 2013 underbanked estimates are not directly comparable to 2011
estimates (see Chapter 3).
The estimated proportion of U.S. households that are
unbanked was derived by dividing the sum of the
weights of the household respondents that were identified as being unbanked by the sum of the weights of
all household respondents. The same formula was
used to estimate the proportion of U.S. households
that are underbanked. For estimated proportions of
unbanked or underbanked households for demographic subgroups, the same computational approach
was used and applied to respondent households in
the subgroup.
In addition to presenting estimated proportions,
many of the tables in this report include estimated
numbers of households (e.g., total households,
unbanked households, or underbanked households).
An estimated number of households for a given category (such as unbanked) is derived as the sum of the
weights of the sample households in that category.
For example, for the entire supplement sample of
40,998 respondent households, the sum of the household weights is roughly 123.8 million, which would
be an estimate of all U.S. households as of June 2013.
However, the Housing and Vacancy Survey, another
survey related to the CPS that uses household
controls to produce household weights, provided an
estimate of 114.7 million as the number of households in June 2013. This difference (123.8 million vs.
114.7 million) is because household weights prepared
by Census for the CPS and for this supplement
survey are generally taken to be the reference person
weights and are not adjusted to align with household
count controls. Household count controls were not
used to adjust household weights because the CPS is
a person survey rather than a household survey;
therefore, universe controls were used only in the
preparation of person weights. As a result, the sum of
household weights shown in our tables for a category
tends to be somewhat higher than the actual household count for the category.
This report also contains a number of tables for
which unbanked percentages and other household
statistics are computed for subgroups defined by a
particular economic or demographic characteristic.
The household classification of an economic or
demographic variable that is defined at the person
level rather than the household level (e.g., race,
education, or employment status) is based on the

economic or demographic classification of the householder/reference person (i.e., a person who owns or
rents the home).
The Census Bureau classifies households into different household types. For instance, a family household
is a household that includes two or more people
related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing
together, along with any unrelated people who may
be residing there. Detailed definitions regarding
household types can be found in the CPS Glossary
available at http://www.census.gov/cps/about/cpsdef.
html.
Households are categorized into racial-ethnic classifications as follows: If the householder is identified as
black, the household is classified as “Black” regardless
of whether the householder is identified as Hispanic
or any other race. If the householder is not identified
as black and is identified as Hispanic, the household
is classified as “Hispanic Non-Black.” If the householder is identified as white and not any other race
and non-Hispanic, then the household is classified as
“White.” All remaining households are classified as
“Other.” However, in some national summary tables
the “Other” category is further disaggregated into
“Asian” if the householder is identified as Asian,
“American Indian/Alaskan” if the householder is
identified as American Indian/Alaskan and not
Asian, and “Hawaiian/Pacific Islander” if the householder is identified as Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and
not Asian or American Indian/Alaskan. In these
tables “Other” consists of the few remaining households in which the householder cannot be classified
into any of the preceding groups.
For the first time, the current report on the 2013
FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households provides estimated unbanked
and underbanked rates and other estimates for the
population of working-age households with disabilities. Households are categorized as follows: if the
householder is between age 25 and 64 and either (i)
indicates “yes” to any of the 6 question disability
sequence in the base CPS, or (ii) is classified as “Not
in Labor Force – Disabled”, the household is classified as “disabled”.10 If the householder is between age
25 and 64 and neither condition (i) or (ii) above is
met, the household is classified as “not disabled”. If
the householder is not between the ages of 25 and 64,
the household is classified as “not applicable”.
Specifically, we use the variable PEMLR (“Monthly Labor Force
Recode”) to determine if the respondent is not in the labor force due to a
disability. Refer to the CPS Data Dictionary for detail on the six-question
disability sequence, available at the following link: http://thedataweb.rm.
census.gov/ftp/cps_ftp.html.

There is no universally accepted method to identify
the population with disabilities. The definition used
in this report, described above, follows the recommendation of Burkhauser, Houtenville, and Tennant
(2012), in that the householder is identified as
disabled based on labor force status in addition to the
6 question disability sequence.11 Using this approach,
roughly 9 percent of households are categorized as
disabled. Using an alternative approach based only
on the 6 question disability sequence in the CPS,
roughly 8 percent of households are categorized as
disabled. Yet another alternative is to categorize a
household as disabled if any household resident (age
25 to 64) is identified as disabled, based on the 6
question disability sequence and labor force status.12
Using this approach, roughly 12 percent of households are identified as disabled. Key estimates from
the FDIC Unbanked/Underbanked supplement, such
as the proportion of disabled households that is
unbanked, are qualitatively similar using any of these
alternatives.
The counties included in some of the MSAs selected
for the CPS do not correspond exactly to the counties
included for these MSAs in the official definitions
prepared by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for two basic reasons.
First, in redesigning the CPS in a timely manner to
incorporate results from the 2000 Decennial Census,
the Census Bureau had to project revised MSA definitions prior to the release of the official OMB definitions in 2003. Therefore, in some cases, the Census
Bureau included one or two counties in an MSA for
the CPS that were not subsequently included in the
official definition of the MSA. In other cases, the
Census Bureau excluded one or two counties that
were subsequently included in the official definitions
of an MSA. In the latter case, the data for the MSA in
the CPS (and in the Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement) will not include any responses for one or two

“Capturing the Elusive Working-Age Population With Disabilities:
Reconciling Conflicting Social Success Estimates From the Current Population Survey and American Community Survey.” Richard V. Burkhauser,
Andrew J. Houtenville and Jennifer R. Tennant. 2012. Journal of Disability
Policy Studies 24(4):195-205.
12	
This alternative categorization would addresses the potential concern
that our householder-based disability estimates are biased downward, to
the extent that a person with a disability is less likely to be identified as
the householder other things equal. We are aware of at least one other
study that uses this definition (among other alternatives): the USDA’s
2013 “Food Insecurity Among Households With Working-Age Adults With
Disabilities” report (US Department of Agriculture Economic Research
Report, Number 144, January 2013.)
11	

of the counties that are a part of the official definition
of the MSA.13
Second, since the CPS is a state-based design, MSAs
that include counties in more than one state are
subdivided into their respective state components for
sampling purposes. Therefore, for some multi-state
MSAs, the counties belonging to one or two of the
states were not selected for the CPS sample, even
though the counties making up the other portion of
the MSA were selected. The larger portions are
usually included in the CPS since they would be
selected with certainty for their state sample because
of their size (i.e., those larger portions would be
“self-representing”). Also, for some multi-state MSAs,
the part of the MSA contained in a given state is
selected for the CPS sample but cannot be identified
as belonging to the MSA (for confidentiality reasons)
because it contains fewer than 100,000 people. In
such cases the respondents in that state usually would
be identified as belonging to a metropolitan area, but
the specific MSA would not be identified.
Statistical Precision of Estimates
Standard errors were calculated for certain
Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement Report estimates to indicate the precision of these estimates. For
example, the standard error can be used to compute a
95 percent confidence interval for a survey estimate
(this is generally computed as the estimate plus or
minus two times the standard error). If the survey
estimate of interest is a difference between estimates
for different groups, the estimated standard error of
the difference can be used to determine whether the
observed difference is “statistically significant.”
Differences discussed in this report are significant at
the 10 percent level of significance. That is, if there
were no difference in the true universe values of the
two sample estimates being compared, the probability
of obtaining sample estimates having this observed
difference or a larger difference would be no more
than 10 percent, and could be considerably less.
The standard errors presented in the full report on
the FDIC’s Unbanked/Underbanked Supplement
were calculated based on the variation of a survey
estimate across a set of 160 sample replicates
provided by the Census Bureau. Details of the calculation of standard errors based on sample replicates
In the former case, data for any counties that were not subsequently
included in the official definition of an MSA are coded as
non-metropolitan.

(and on the CPS methodology in general) are available from the Census Bureau.14
For an estimated difference between a universe quantity for the 2013 and 2011 Unbanked/Underbanked
surveys (such as the difference between the number
of unbanked households), the derivation of the standard error of such an estimated difference was based
on the fact that estimates from the 2013 and 2011
surveys are independent. Therefore, the standard
error of the estimated difference is the square root of
the sum of the variances of the two separate estimates. Sample estimates of these variances, based on
the use of the set of 160 replicates as described above,
were used to estimate the standard error of a difference of estimates between the two years. The significance of any observed difference between estimates
from the two years is assessed based on the estimated
standard error of the difference.

The 2013 survey instrument is similar to the 2011
survey. However, some important changes were made
based on lessons learned from the 2009 and 2011
efforts and to provide greater insight into the circumstances of unbanked and underbanked households
and reflect changes in the financial services market..
Changes were made to collect more data on the
reasons why and when households change banking
status, to add more questions regarding households’
use of prepaid cards, and to gather information on
the methods households use to access their bank
accounts. In addition, questions on auto title loans
were included in the survey, and new questions were
added to collect data on the locations from which
households obtain alternative financial services
(AFS). Throughout, minor changes were made to
survey language to improve clarity and consistency.
Because of the differences between the 2009, 2011
and 2013 surveys, certain estimates are not directly
comparable across surveys. Some estimates, such as
the proportion of unbanked households, can be
compared across all three surveys. Other estimates,
such as the timeframes for the use of alternative
financial services (AFS) are comparable between 2011
and 2013, but not back to 2009. And some estimates,
such as the proportion of underbanked households,
are not comparable between any of the surveys. Notes
are included throughout the tables and the report to
indicate when estimates are not comparable. The
dataset provided on www.economicinclusion.gov also
indicates which variables are consistent across years.
Specific revisions to the 2013 survey are as follows:1
A. Banking Status and Transitions
A new question was added to identify households
that had been unbanked, but opened a bank account
in the last year (Q2e). This complements the existing
question that asks unbanked households that were
previously banked when they last had an account
(Q4) and provides more complete data on recent
transitions into and out of the banking system.
A new question asks households that opened an
account within the last year why they did so (Q2f).
This replaces the question that, in 2011, asks households that reported being “somewhat likely” or “very
likely” to open a bank account why they wanted to do
so (2011 Survey Q8).
For details of the changes made between the 2009 and 2011 surveys,
please see 2011 FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked
Households, Appendix F – Revisions to the FDIC National Survey of
Unbanked and Underbanked Households, September 2012.

New questions were added to investigate whether
certain life events contribute to changes in banking
status. All households are asked whether they experienced a series of life events (Q49), and households
that recently transitioned into or out of the banking
system were asked whether those events contributed
to the households opening or closing a bank account
(Q50 and Q51).
The question regarding households’ likelihood of
opening a bank account was reworded to ask about
the likelihood of opening an account “in the next 12
months” rather than “in the future” (Q7)
B. Reasons for Being Unbanked
The existing questions on the reasons why households do not have a bank account were revised, and
new questions were added.
The possible reasons for not having an account were
revised slightly and the broad reason “do not need or
want an account” was dropped because this response
was difficult to interpret and did not explain the
underlying reason that the household did not need or
want an account.
This series of questions was changed to first ask the
household to indicate all of the reasons why it does
not have an account, allowing respondents to choose
multiple responses from a broad range of reasons
(Q5a-Q5i); subsequently, respondents were asked to
indicate the main reason they do not have an
account, from among the responses selected (Q6).
In contrast, the 2011 survey asked households to
select only the main reason why the household does
not have an account. Then, some respondents were
asked for more detailed information regarding their
reasons for being unbanked within the reason that
was selected (2011 Survey Q5 and Q6a-Q6f).
The current version allows for the collection of more
complete data regarding the variety of reasons, and
the relative importance of those reasons.
C. Use of Alternative Financial Services (AFS) and
Payroll Cards
Several new questions in this section include:

1	

New questions were added to identify the locations
where households obtain transaction AFS. Responses

150

included big box stores, supermarkets, standalone
AFS providers, etc., and were tailored for each AFS
(Q13b, Q19b, Q24b).
A new question asked respondents who used
non-bank payday loans whether the loans were taken
out over the internet (Q28b).

New questions were added to ask respondents who
use prepaid cards about the recency of their use,
similar to the questions that ask about the recency of
AFS use (Q40-Q41).
New questions (Q42 and Q42b) ask respondents why
they use prepaid cards.

Auto title loans were added as an additional AFS
(Q38–Q38c).

A question was added asking about the locations
where respondents get prepaid cards (Q43)

Several questions were dropped in order to accommodate the new questions:

Questions were added to ask whether households that
use prepaid cards have ever reloaded that card (Q44)
and, if so, how/where they reload it (Q45).

Questions regarding the reasons why households use
AFS were dropped (2011 Survey Q13, Q19, Q24, Q28,
Q32, Q37). Questions on the reasons for AFS use
were asked in 2009 and 2011, and the responses were
very consistent between surveys and it is not anticipated that the responses would change in the short
term.
Questions on the number of times households used
transaction AFS in the last 30 days were dropped
(2011 Survey Q12, Q17, Q23).
Minor revisions were made to several questions in
this section.
The question about the use of remittances (Q20) reiterates that the survey is asking for sending money
internationally, as opposed to domestically. New
language was added to the question to clarify that
remittances include money sent “to relatives or
friends outside the US.”
The rent-to-own question (Q35) includes an additional instruction to differentiate this financial service
from other forms of payment or credit services: “I am
not talking about leasing cars or other installment
payment plans that require credit check or layaway
plans.”
D. Use of Prepaid and Payroll Cards

To help make room to accommodate the new questions, the question regarding households’ use of
payroll cards was dropped (2011 Survey Q38). Payroll
card use was very low, based on the 2011 results.
E. Direct Deposit and Automatic Transfers and
Methods Used to Access Bank Accounts
A new set of questions was added to the survey to ask
households direct deposits and about the various
locations and methods used to access bank accounts,
including online and mobile technologies.
New questions ask households whether they use
automatic transfers or direct deposit (Q2c) and, if so,
which types of accounts receive the payments or
deposits (Q2d).
New questions ask all banked households about the
channels the households use to access accounts. Q2g
and Q2h ask about all of the methods used, and the
main method used. Q2i asks households that have
used mobile banking which types of banking transactions or activities they have performed with their
mobile phones.
For context, all households were asked about whether
they have access to the Internet, and to mobile and
smartphones (Q46-Q48).

The 2013 survey significantly expands the number of
questions respondents are asked regarding their use
of prepaid cards. The 2009 and 2011 survey asked
households whether they had ever used a prepaid
card. The 2013 survey asks a number of additional
questions, in order to collect more data about the use
of these rapidly growing products.
