Extent of Access to Bank Accounts Sample Clauses

Extent of Access to Bank Accounts. A Eurobarometer survey showed that at least 85% of EU consumers have a current bank account in all member States with the exception of Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. In two of the Member States, Denmark and Finland, virtually everyone has a current bank account. A clear difference can be seen between EU15 and EU12 (average bank penetration for EU12 is 83.6% and for EU15 is 91.1%). With the exception of Slovenia, Malta and Estonia, the percentage of the population in the EU12 with a current bank account is generally below the EU27 average. Of the EU15, only Italy has bank account penetration below that of the EU27 average.133 Generally, access to a bank account increases in line with the economic development of a country Using Eurobarometer data, we estimated the number of EU consumers who do not have a bank account. Lack of a bank account is generally a key indicator of financial exclusion, with the possible exception of those Member States where the penetration of bank accounts is lower. To take an example, in Romania in the 2009 survey 47% of the population did not have access to a bank account at all. Here, lack of access to a bank account may not be the most important indicator of financial exclusion. However, once penetration of bank accounts increases above a certain level, lack of a bank account will be a key indicator of financial exclusion. We therefore sought to divide the number of consumers without bank accounts into those where the use of bank accounts is not yet universal and those where there is high penetration of bank accounts and lack of an account will be a key indicator of exclusion. To estimate the number of consumers falling into each group we calculated the number of consumers in each country who did not have bank accounts and used two cut-off points to divide them into groups. The cut-off points were at 90% and 95%. Thus, in Romania, of the 8 million consumers without a bank account, only 5% of the relevant population (0.9 million) could be at risk of financial exclusion due to lack of a bank account. In Germany however all of the 0.67 million consumers (from the 2009 survey) without a bank account could be at risk of financial exclusion. We conclude from this analysis that of the 30.1 million European consumers without access to a bank account, 11.6 to 18.2 million are likely to be at risk of financial exclusion, whereas the remaining 11.87 million are likely to be in a society where the use of bank accounts is not yet almost unive...
