In this week's FinCap Friday we take a look at a very uncommon topic: ChexSystems. While many Americans know about the 3 credit bureaus and the credit score that is calculated using the data that they collect, most do not know about the ChexSystems agency and what type of data they collect to help banks make decisions about who to do business with. What types of data does this agency collect and what do they do with this data? Find out all about this and more in the FinCap Friday episode for this week:

If you're short on time, try our simplified FinCap Friday (No Tech) with the questions embedded right into the slide deck!
