    The relationship between vulnerable financial consumers and banking institutions. A qualitative study in Spain
    (Elsevier, 2021-01-05) Fernández Olit, Beatriz; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina
    The financial exclusion phenomenon has been approached from different perspectives. After reviewing the recent literature, we adopt a financial ecology approach and propose a comprehensive framework to analyse the different types of difficulties (access, use and perception) that vulnerable financial consumers face in relationships with banking institutions as well as their underlying causes. We consider financial inclusion as the sustainable provision of financial services and products and an adjustment to individual needs. We examine a special group of urban vulnerable consumers: underbanked people facing poverty and social exclusion. Data were obtained from focus groups and were coded and analysed using qualitative data analysis software. The results show that use difficulties predominate, followed by perception difficulties. Bank pressure and lack of financial training stood out among the main causes of these financial difficulties. We conclude that poorer neighbourhoods constitute a distinctive financial ecology produced by the ‘discrimination’ of a significant number of their inhabitants in the use of mainstream financial services. The study provides evidence of the socio-spatial nature of the exclusion process and calls for further research on the role of policy responses to restrict abusive practices.

    Banking system resilience and stability: constructing a composite indicator for developed countries
    (Emerald, 2019-10-14) Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego
    The aim of this paper is to empirically appraise the health of banking systems by applying a new theoretical framework based on complex system theories. For doing so we propose a composite indicator for analysing the resilience and stability of banking systems for a group of advanced economies including the group of G7 countries, Spain and Portugal. The empirical results reveal quite different patterns in the aftermath of the financial crises. While some countries have improved its relative position within the ranking, we find others evolving just in the opposite direction. The main purpose of the indicator is not to make predictions of future banks’ behaviour, but rather to use it as an early warning system for policymakers and supervisors in identifying signs of weakness, as well as a useful tool to identify the best practices.
