Nearly every aspect of modern life relies on the ability to receive funds, make payments, and access monetary resources when needed. But appropriate and affordable financial services are often not available to low-income and otherwise marginalized communities and individuals. In this webinar, presenters will share research findings related to the inequitable landscape of financial services as well as examples of practice and policy solutions.
