It's wild that unbanked people exist in 2023. There are a slew of banking options that don't require minimum balances. Pretty much every above-board employer would prefer to pay you via direct deposit. Pretty much every social assistance program would prefer to deposit your financial assistance in a bank account rather than send you a check. That checks off the elderly and poor who are on social assistance, which are the key disadvantaged groups who are usually trotted out to act as the victims when enacting cashless bans. I realize that some professions only deal in cash, but even then it's very straightforward to put the cash into a prepaid card.
