> **Quick answer —** South Carolina is building a coastal deposit base out of in-migration from other states, with a Spanish-speaking construction workforce behind it. Both arrived recently and neither is local.

## Two new populations, different needs

The coastal counties are among the fastest growing in the country, largely through in-migration from the north-east and midwest. Those customers arrive banked, with existing relationships and expectations set elsewhere. Behind them is the construction and hospitality workforce building the houses, largely Spanish-speaking and frequently unbanked or thinly banked. Same counties, opposite problems, and a single county-level plan serves neither.

## An active small-dollar market

South Carolina permits high-cost credit and runs non-judicial foreclosure, so a borrower in trouble has expensive options and little time.

Plain-language explanation of what a loan actually costs is more valuable here than in a rate-capped state, and it should exist in Spanish.

## The corridors are Mexico and Honduras

Both run through construction and agriculture rather than through an established urban community, which means they move with the work.

## Where to start

Fee, overdraft and small-dollar credit explanation in Spanish.

## FAQ

**What two populations is South Carolina banking?** In-migrants arriving already banked with expectations set elsewhere, and the Spanish-speaking construction and hospitality workforce building their houses, who are frequently unbanked.

**Can one county-level plan serve both?** No. They are in the same counties with opposite problems, so a single plan under-serves one of them and usually the one with less to spend.

**Why does plain-language credit content matter here?** Because South Carolina permits high-cost credit and runs non-judicial foreclosure, so a borrower has expensive options and little time. Explaining what a loan costs is worth more than in a rate-capped state.

**Which corridors run out of South Carolina?** Mexico and Honduras, both through construction and agriculture rather than an established urban community, so they move with the work rather than staying put.
