(A) the current financial crisis has had a 
disproportionate impact on the underbanked, 
the unbanked and consumers with credit scores 
at or below 660; 
(B) the underbanked, the unbanked and

already have extreme difficulty gaining access 
to comprehensive banking services, including 
access to appropriate credit;

the United States economy would benefit from 
programs that provide a means by which the 
underbanked, the unbanked and consumers 
with credit scores at or below 660 could be 
transitioned into mainstream banking; 
(D) developing programs to assist con-
sumers with credit scores at or below 660 reha-
bilitate their credit scores and gain a greater 
understanding of the credit process would ben-
efit this consumer group and assist in stabi-
lizing and restoring the United States economy;
