From Paper Checks to Financial Stability: Navigating the Transition with Bank On Suncoast
•
United Way Suncoast
The federal government will stop issuing paper checks for most benefit payments beginning in September. This change could create real challenges for unbanked individuals who rely on check-cashing outlets.
On this episode of the Freedom to Rise Podcast, we explore how the Bank On Suncoast program, a collaborative initiative led by United Way Suncoast and regional partners, is helping ensure everyone has access to safe and affordable banking. Joining us is Mark Smith, Financial Security Manager at United Way Suncoast, and Kathleen Cramer, Executive Director of Turning Points, a Bradenton nonprofit that empowers individuals and families on their path to financial stability and independence.
