One front door to fair money in Wichita.
Matched savings. Small loans that don't trap you. Free coaching. There's no single road out of high-cost lending — so we built many. Start wherever you are.
Many paths, one direction
Tell us what's in the way.
Tap what's on your mind. We'll point you to the tools that fit — and connect you to a real person who can help. No wrong answer.
Here's where we'd start you →
Everything you need to get ahead, in one place.
Tools, workshops, and trusted partners — organized around your life, not around programs. Start anywhere.
Not one path. Many.
A straight line from payday loans to a mortgage would be a nice story — but it's not how real lives work. People come in from different places, with different needs, and weave their own route. Pick a starting point and see where it can lead.
Banks and neighbors, working together—not against each other.
The Remedial Bank is a coalition. Participating banks and community organizations pool their strengths so you get one welcoming path instead of a dozen closed doors.
Your first step is free — and it's a conversation.
Sit down with a coach, in person or online. No credit check, no sales pitch, no judgment. Just a plan that's yours.
Every solution, one roof.
Ten financial tools and a growing set of free workshops — plus the trusted partners we connect you to. Filter by what you need. Every tool opens into a plain-language page: what it is, who it's for, how to qualify, and how to start.
Solution
There isn't one path. There are many.
A single road from payday loans to a mortgage would be tidy — but real life isn't tidy. People arrive from different places and build their own route. Tell us where you're starting, and we'll light up the paths open to you.
I'm starting from…
Every route is valid.
You might weave through three tools or thirty. You might loop back. You might skip ahead. What matters isn't the order — it's that every door here opens toward the same place: stability, on your terms.
A coach in your corner.
You don't have to join a program first. Coaching is the front door — free, one-on-one, in person or online. Bring your questions, your worries, your bills. We'll build a plan together.
Meet the coaches.
Real people who've helped Wichitans take their first step — including certified Financial Wellbeing Coaches from our partner Operation HOPE. Coaching is always free.

Stronger together.
The Remedial Bank isn't one institution — it's a coalition. Community organizations run the programs. Participating banks open the doors. You choose the partners that fit your life.
Banking partners.
Participants choose among participating banks and credit unions. We don't feature one over another — each one has committed to fair, welcoming products for people building from the ground up.
Partner organizations.
The community organizations that run coaching, workshops, matched savings, and the referral network that ties it all together.
Money, in plain English.
Short, honest guides to the things banks rarely explain. No jargon, no fine print.
We're writing these now.
Plain-language guides on payday loans, credit scores, opening your first account, budgeting, and more are on the way. In the meantime, a coach can answer any of these questions one-on-one.
