Webinar: Opening Mobility Pathways by Closing the Financial Services Gap

March 15, 2018

 

Thursday, March 15, 2018, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT

One in four American households is unbanked or underbanked, partly because of differences among places. Access to financial services varies by county and is often scarcest in rural communities and communities of color.

An idea under the Partnership’s strategy to ensure zip code is not destiny, Opening Mobility Pathways by Closing the Financial Services Gap puts forward four ideas for providing more people and communities access to capital to spur mobility from poverty.
