Description
Access to traditional financial institutions remains challenging for low- to moderate-income individuals. Barriers include minimum balance requirements, excessive fees, and credit checks. Financial technologies, or fintech, have emerged as a potential path to broaden financial inclusion and reshape how families participate in financial systems. This webinar convenes three leading experts to examine how fintech options operate for financially vulnerable populations.
