Via the NYT Freakonomics blog, we’ve stumbled onto a video by that attempts to answer the question: “why do people use check cashing places, instead of banks?” Be forewarned, this video has some colorful language. But it is highly entertaining and actually provides a brief glimpse into the reality of the so-called “unbanked.”

Hi this is a cool looking blog, I was just looking for this the other day. Glad I finally found what I wanted.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.
