The mission of the Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) is “to transform the U.S. financial services marketplace to help underbanked consumers achieve financial prosperity.” Their work extends to include developing programs and activities designed to promote and enhance underbanked strategy and practice. On their homepage, visitors can peruse their news updates, sign up for their newsletter, and also learn about their upcoming conferences. First-time visitors may want to start with the “Our Approach” area to learn about their advocacy work. Moving on, the “Our Insights” area includes a number of working papers on topics that include the development of alternative credit data, the potential use of mobile banking for underbanked consumers, and the latest data on prepaid card transaction behavior. Finally, their “Newsrom” area includes their most current press releases along with links to a range of social media. This will be added to Financial Sources Subject Tracer™ .
