A large number of Americans do not have bank accounts (the 'unbanked') or rely on costly alternative financial services (AFS) such as payday loans (the 'underbanked'), with implications for wealth accumulation and retirement preparedness. Using primary data, we document large racial/ethnic differences in unbanked and in frequent AFS usage rates. We study the role of socio-economic status (SES), financial literacy, trust in financial institutions, networks, and time preferences in explaining these gaps.

The current system of blood banks in India is such that rural patients are deprived of timely access to an adequate volume of life-saving blood, adding to preventable mortality. On the basis of an academic framework for a blood transfusion system, we describe an alternative approach in which rural practitioners utilise unbanked blood transfusions from a voluntary pool of pre-screened donors. This system would provide safe blood - as evidenced by international experience and limited projected increase in transfusion-transmissible infection in India - at a fraction of the financial cost imposed by the current system.
