  • Bank of America

Bank of America is revamping its digital platforms to serve the nation’s Spanish-speaking community, South Florida Business Journal has reported. The move is aimed at luring the Hispanic population, the largest minority group in the country. At nearly 59 million, the U.S. Hispanic population constitutes 18.1 percent of the country’s population – and it’s only expected to grow. Approximately 41 million Hispanic-Americans are native Spanish speakers and another 11 million are bilingual, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.Andres Intriago, senior vice president and Spanish digital strategy lead for Bank of America, is spearheading the bank’s Spanish digital initiative. Bank of America’s website and mobile apps are already available in Spanish as 1.7 million of the bank’s 25 million mobile users have said Spanish is their language of preference, and another 2.5 million digital users have indicated they would like to see more Spanish-language products from the company.

 

  • Amazon

Amazon is offering a new service called Amazon Cash that allows customers without bank or credit accounts (or who would prefer not to use them) to make online purchases with good old-fashioned paper money. Amazon Cash users do need to have an Amazon account and a mobile phone.To take advantage of Amazon Cash, consumers bring cash to a participating CVS, GameStop or 7-Eleven store location. They then verify their Amazon account in one of two ways. Amazon’s strategy behind this move is to engage those 32.6 million consumers in the U.S. that don’t use banking services (unbanked) or make limited use of them (underbanked). Particularly, to attract more African-American and Hispanic consumers, who are the most likely ethnic groups to be unbanked, according to an FDIC study, Mediapost has reported. Amazon Cash is the most recent effort by Amazon to engage Hispanic and African-American consumers. In 2017, the brand released its Spanish-language version of Amazon.com.
