Bank on Houston is a collaborative effort of the City of Houston, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National League of Cities, the Federal Reserve Bank, 19 participating banks, credit unions,  and many nonprofit organizations to bring the city’s unbanked individuals into the financial mainstream. 

These are our goals: 

• Raise awareness among unbanked consumers, especially the low to moderate income market, about the benefits of account ownership and spur them  to open accounts.
• Make quality money management education more easily available to low to moderate income Houstonians.
• Raise awareness of the economic impact of being unbanked and work to find potential solutions.
