Webinar and Fireside Chat: Tech Disrupts the Unbanked & Underbanked

ABOUT THE EVENT

April 7, 2021 Disrupting Finance: The Unbanked and Underbanked in NYC 11% or 350,000 people in New York City are unbanked (have no bank account) and a further 22% or 700,000 people are underbanked. This lack of access to financial services for the most vulnerable encourages a cycle of poverty. In this webinar we discuss what that means to society as a whole and what we might be able to do to solve it.

Who are the unbanked? What are the reasons for being unbanked or underbanked and why should this concern us? How can this be solved and what are our institutions doing right now to help deal with this crisis of the unbanked population? What other answers are out there?

FIRESIDE CHAT
