And if you look closer, it gets even worse because one in seven black households is unbanked versus one in 40 white households.

如果你仔細觀察，情況會更糟糕，因為每7個黑人家庭中就有一個沒有銀行賬戶，而每40個白人家庭中就有一個。

This is mattering more than ever because President Joe Biden wants to make more direct payments to Americans on the families to help them replace income lost but also to close America's yawning historical wealth gaps.

One way around that is for big banks to lend to smaller local ones that a better earning communities trust banks like Hope Credit Union in Mississippi, which is one that had funding recently, and lending support from Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and even Netflix.

其中一個辦法是大銀行向當地的小銀行貸款，一個收入較好的社區信任的銀行，比如密西西比州的希望信用社，這是一家最近有資金的銀行，美國銀行、高盛甚至Netflix也提供了貸款支持。

There's also more dramatic solution, which is to give everyone a free bank account, maybe at the Federal Reserve or even the Postal Service.

還有更戲劇性的解決方案，就是給每個人一個免費的銀行賬戶，也許是在美聯儲，甚至是郵政部門。

That's an idea that Biden's advisers have already been kicking around.

這是拜登的顧問們已經在討論的一個想法。

 Banks may not like that kind of extra competition, but then, that's all the more reason for them to hurry up close the banking gap themselves. 

銀行可能不喜歡這種額外的競爭，但是呢，他們更應該趕緊彌補自己的銀行缺口。
