Financial inclusion is enabled through credit, education, stability, and support.
- Expanding access to credit gives more Americans the opportunity to build businesses, afford higher education, achieve the dream of homeownership, and create strong, vibrant communities.
- Expanding access to financial literacy education helps consumers start on the right path financially and make smart financial decisions that improve their financial well-being.
- Ensuring financial stability allows credit unions that serve minority and underserved areas to thrive and meet the evolving financial needs of their members and by extension, their communities.
- Supporting new employment opportunities for minorities, women, the disabled, and the underserved allows these individuals to join the financial mainstream and benefit from greater economic opportunity.
