Urge the USPS to set up a postal banking system for those who lack access to the commercial banking system
The USPS historically provided limited banking services. Today, many low-income communities' only access to banking services is through high-fee services provided by pay-day lenders and the like. The USPS Inspector General has concluded that the USPS has the authority to provide limited banking services, which it could provide at a much lower cost to consumers than is being provided by predatory commercial entities. The USPS should provide these services to benefit low-income communities.
