"One in 10 European citizens is currently without a bank account while the use of a bank account is virtually indispensable for carrying out basic transactions such as receiving wages or paying a bill. The homeless, people on very low income, students and certain expatriate workers are occasionally excluded from using banking services on the grounds of what some banks consider to be too low an income or excessively burdensome administrative paperwork. It should be a right for all Europeans to have guaranteed access to basic banking services. That is why the banks should allow unconditionally all European citizens who wish to do so to open a basic banking account, whatever their level of income or credit history. Banks are undoubtedly indispensable for financing the economy but they also have a duty not to exclude European citizens from participating in society."@en1
