Financial Pathway Calculator

You sit with a client and enter what they actually pay to cash checks, send money, buy money orders, or use a bank that charges them. It totals the yearly cost and lists lower-cost options, which you can edit or switch off before printing anything for them.

• · Two calculators: one for the cost of living outside the banking system, one for bank fees inside it.
• · A review screen where staff edit or remove any suggestion before the client sees it.
• · A printed summary at the end of the session, in English or Spanish.
