About the Promising Pathways to Wealth-Building Financial Services

Participants will hear from some of the nation’s leading experts, industry representatives and on-the-ground providers of financial services focused on unbanked, underbanked and unhappily banked consumers. To facilitate discussion and practical advice, a series of roundtables will also be offered on key forum topics. Finally, while not a policy forum, policy barriers and opportunities will also be captured and discussed.

Key questions to be discussed:
  • What do we know about underbanked consumers?
  • What financial products exist to meet their needs?
  • Through what channels are these products distributed?
Confirmed speakers include:
  • Melissa Koide, deputy assistant secretary, U.S. Department of the Treasury
  • Cliff Rosenthal, assistant director, Office of Financial Empowerment, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
  • Jennifer Tescher, president and CEO, Center for Financial Services Innovation
