Unbanked population in the UK in 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2021, by demographic

The share of UK respondents who claimed to have no access to a banking account almost disappeared between several surveys held between 2011 and 2021. According to a three-year survey, the "unbanked" population in the UK - or those who or those who did not access to the services of a bank or another, similar financial organization - was nearly zero percent by 2021. The report adds that men in the United Kingdom were more likely than women to be financially excluded from services like ATM machines, credit cards, or financial products like insurance or mortgages. The declining figures for unbanked population are reflected in the decreasing market share of cash in UK physical stores.
