New Bank Accounts Available for All, Bank on Providence

Why spend hundreds of dollars a year at a check-cashing company when you can deposit your money in a free or low-cost account and pay your bills at no additional cost? Today, everybody can get an account at a bank or credit union. Even if you’ve had problems with an account in the past, have never had an account before, or don’t have a Social Security number, you can still bank in Providence with Bank on Providence.

Bank on Providence is a comprehensive program intended to connect the “unbanked,” those who live without access to mainstream financial institutions and are forced to rely on expensive check-cashing services, with affordable and appropriate mainstream financial services.
