Support providing banking services at US Post Offices
Resolution 33-15
In Plain English
The US Postal Service Inspector General recommends allowing post offices to offer basic banking services like check cashing and small loans. Many Richmond residents lack access to traditional banks and pay high fees at check-cashing stores. If approved, the city formally endorses this federal policy proposal.
