The Center for Financial Services Innovation is the nation’s leading authority on financial services for underbanked consumers.  We believe that addressing the needs of underbanked consumers as a market will deliver broad, long-term change throughout the financial services landscape by creating mutual benefit for both the underbanked and the companies serving them.

We seek to improve the quality and quantity of financial products and services, better shape them to the needs and desires of underbanked customers, and expand effective savings and asset acquisition opportunities. We spur innovation to bridge the gaps that remain in creating a path to prosperity for underbanked consumers by:

• developing market intelligence;
• assessing existing products, services and strategies;
• promoting and facilitating marketplace partnerships;
• influencing public policy;
• investing in promising innovations and encouraging others to do so as well.
