 | The Role Tax Refunds Play for the Average American Family The JPMorgan Chase Institute released a new study documenting how tax refunds and tax payments affect families' income, saving and spending. The Institute found that tax refunds are a major financial event – often amounting to six weeks of take-home pay for an average family – that resets the spending patterns of families who receive them. In fact, just six months after receiving a refund, the average family's spending levels have settled to a new steady-state. | |  | Investing in Fintech Solutions to Promote Financial Health Globally In May, we committed $125 million over five years to nonprofit groups in the United States and around the world to improve the financial health of underserved communities. Through collaboration with community organizations, this commitment will also help inform the development of products and services that will help those in underserved communities increase their savings, build credit, reduce debt and achieve their financial goals. | | | |
