Reaching the Unbanked: CUs Partner to Improve Members’ Financial Futures
11/01/2006
In the study, six mainstream credit unions partnered with community development credit unions. Together, they developed outreach programs to serve members of modest means. The programs were documented from beginning to end, so others in the movement may learn by example and effectively help the underserved in their neighborhoods. Each case study showcases important lessons dealing with trust, patience, flexibility, acceptance, commitment and alignment that all credit unions can apply to their outreach programs.
