It would be nice to re-implement the Savings System that used to be in place. It would help the "under banked". Hell, even go radical and support USDC.

As always, call your congressperson and indicate you support such legislation (if you do; imho you should). Also, the postal board of governors can sign off on the USPS providing financial services without congressional approval, so I expect to see some progress as the current administration fills vacancies on the board [2].
