Spent: Looking For Change (Full Documentary) | American Express

Turning to pawn shops, check cashing services, and payday loans to meet basic financial needs can be a costly choice. In 2012, Americans spent $89 billion on fees and interest* on alternative financial services. It's time for change. New technology, new ideas and new conversation around this issue can help create more simple, affordable money management options.

American Express is presenting this documentary to spark a dialogue about financial inclusion in the United States. Academy AwardÆ-¨winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim is the executive producer of the documentary, which is narrated by Tyler Perry and directed by Derek Doneen.
