The Bank On National Data Hub: Findings from the First Year , includes key takeaways from
the 2018 data collection, including results from analyzing national Bank On account activity
across three categories of metrics: Account Opening, Account Usage and Consistency, and
Online Access . Most notably, the report found that nearly 800,000 Bank On certified accounts
were opened in one year alone by the ten reporting banks, and that 75% of those opening
these accounts were new banking customers.

Ten institutions submitted their 2018 data to the BOND Hub: Bank of America, Carrollton Bank,
The First – A National Banking Association, First Commonwealth Bank, IBERIABANK,
JPMorgan Chase, Old National Bank, Southern Bancorp, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
