Key takeaways

Ensuring customers understand personal finance and offering ways to improve credit scores is equally important.

More than a responsibility, companies have the opportunity to generate tax revenue, broaden the economy, and drive growth when creating equitable access.

Partnerships focused on meeting the user's necessities play an important part in offering equitable access to the underfunded.
